Forecasts

Notoriously Risky (11/4), Pale Iris (3/1), Wood Ranger (11/2), Eloso (15/2), Linda Barrett (15/2), Rosie Bassett (10/1), Swiss Ace (11/1), Ferrybank (12/1), Shelly Banks (12/1), Coins Cross (14/1), Bell I Am (20/1), Zara Mac (33/1), Dots De Feetya (40/1)

Verdict

ELOSO looks well weighted on the back of his excellent recent Sligo second and is taken to open his account at the chief expense of in-form Linda Barrett. Notoriously Risky is another who needs considering now handicapping after his very good second over C&D.

  1. ELOSO (IRE)
  2. LINDA BARRETT (IRE)
  3. NOTORIOUSLY RISKY
