Forecasts

Legend Of Zorro (15/8), Shattered Glass (7/2), Minella Voucher (7/1), Ector (7/1), Golden Poet (10/1), Leith Hill Lad (12/1), Thestopperdunne (16/1), Orchestrated (16/1), Minella Style (18/1)

Verdict

Having joined a yard enjoying a good time of things, LEGEND OF ZORRO may well be able to bounce back having dropped to his winning mark. Minella Voucher is the solid proposition in the field, with Shattered Glass a player if over whatever held him back last time.

  1. LEGEND OF ZORRO (IRE)
  2. MINELLA VOUCHER
  3. SHATTERED GLASS (IRE)
