Forecasts

Verdict

There should be more to come from TEA CLIPPER now stepping up to 3m and he can defy the handicapper again and make it 5 wins from only 6 starts. Dandy Dan has a slightly lower mark to work with back hurdling and rates a possible danger for a stable which continues in good form. On The Blind Side and the thriving Dell' Arca are others to consider in what looks a typically competitive renewal.

  1. TEA CLIPPER (IRE)
  2. DANDY DAN (IRE)
  3. ON THE BLIND SIDE (IRE)
