Forecasts

Verdict

FAN DE BLUES found one too good bidding to land a hat-trick in a Grade 3 at Tipperary last time but, back in handicap company, he boasts leading claims against inferior opposition. Ilikedwayurthinkin is the chief threat provided he avoids mistakes, and Montagne D'Argent could play a part if his new yard have him ready to go.
