Forecasts

Shanroe (3/1), Pondus (4/1), Chiricahua (4/1), Powerful Ted (5/1), Camphor (10/1), Shoshone Warrior (10/1), Barbados (16/1), Bold Approach (16/1), Lugnaquilla (25/1), Travel On (100/1)

Verdict

The vote goes to SHANROE, who was a fine fourth in a valuable Naas handicap off a 3 lb higher mark on his final start of last season. He won't be found wanting fitness-wise (winner over hurdles in April) and remains unexposed in this sphere. Pondus wasn't knocked about in a Group 3 on return here in April and is feared back in handicap company, while a case can also be made for Powerful Ted.

  1. SHANROE
  2. PONDUS
  3. POWERFUL TED (IRE)
