Forecasts

Deputy Jones (11/4), Marilyn Monroe (7/2), Bellevarde Express (11/2), Spirit Of Rome (13/2), Doyannie (15/2), Shoot To Fame (15/2), Poet's Reflection (9/1), Lady Sally (10/1), Miss Gold Den (14/1), Dynamic Kate (50/1), Keepscalling (50/1), Mosambo (66/1), Little Peachey (80/1), Tranquil Dawn (150/1)

Verdict

In the hope that the addition of cheekpieces helps eke out a little more, DEPUTY JONES gets the nod in what looks a wide-open contest. Her latest effort (first run following a wind op) represented an incremental step in the right direction and she's now 2 lb lower. Marilyn Monroe has improved since going down the handicap route and is second choice ahead of Spirit of Rome and Shoot To Fame.

  1. DEPUTY JONES (IRE)
  2. MARILYN MONROE (IRE)
  3. SPIRIT OF ROME (IRE)
