Forecasts

Pondus (11/8), Passion (9/4), Amhran Na Bhfiann (9/2), Sunchart (11/2), Questionare (22/1), Raa Atoll (66/1), Aircraft Carrier (100/1), Hidden Land (250/1)

Verdict

PONDUS has the best form and a fitness edge over his main rival (Passion), so he is an obvious choice on the back of an excellent second off 106 in a C&D handicap last time. Sunchart, who ran well in listed company last time, could be on hand if both the aforementioned fluff their lines.

  1. PONDUS
  2. SUNCHART
  3. PASSION (IRE)
