Verdict

FORGE ROAD remains relatively low-mileage and ran her best race to date when finishing a close-up third in a C&D handicap 7 days ago and could well be worth chancing to get off the mark from her basement mark now. Last-time-out winner Kartayaz and Spirituoso are others to consider. Picpoul and Siofra complete the shortlist.

  1. FORGE ROAD (IRE)
  2. KARTAYAZ (IRE)
  3. SPIRITUOSO
