Forecasts

Witness Protection (1/1), Fern Hill (13/8), Conceal (5/1), Let Me Be (13/2), First Illusion (12/1), Henry Gondoff (25/1), Contrebasse (66/1), Western Starlet (66/1), Ballintogher Boy (125/1), Skipness (125/1), Ask The Question (125/1), Tunder Strike (200/1)

Verdict

FERN HILL forged clear to score quite readily here 3 weeks ago and looks sure to be suited by this longer trip on that evidence, so he's a confident selection to follow up. Witness Protection impressed at Stratford after 13 months off and is the clear danger if backing up that effort.

  1. FERN HILL (IRE)
  2. WITNESS PROTECTION (IRE)
  3. LET ME BE (IRE)
