Forecasts

Straight Answer (15/8), Rhea Moon (3/1), Hms Endeavour (3/1), Craic At Dawn (10/3), War Effort (7/1), Eriskay (9/1), Ecoutez (10/1), National Gallery (14/1), Papa K (16/1), Rockbury Lad (16/1), Turn On The Jets (28/1), Adhuil (50/1), Fiach Mchugh (66/1), Recyclable (80/1), Midgetonamission (125/1), Linger For Longer (150/1)

Verdict

RHEA MOON shaped promisingly amidst greenness when third at Dundalk on debut last week, really getting the hang of things late on and finishing to good effect, and shades the vote over Craic At Dawn, who was beaten only by a couple of useful prospects here 2 weeks ago. HMS Endeavour should come on plenty for his debut run at Naas and is another to consider.

  1. RHEA MOON (IRE)
  2. CRAIC AT DAWN (IRE)
  3. HMS ENDEAVOUR (USA)
