Forecasts

Ajay's Ways (5/2), Clondaw Pretender (9/2), No Cruise Yet (7/1), Minella Examiner (8/1), Eagle De Guye (11/1), Catlin (11/1), Steel Wave (12/1), Peter's Portrait (12/1), Well Cliche (12/1), Canada Kid (18/1), Coole Lion (20/1), Sackett (20/1), Hidden Glen (50/1), Lough Salt (66/1)

Verdict

AJAY'S WAYS justified good support to make a winning start over fences and should have even more to offer over this longer trip given how he shaped. He's taken to follow up at the main expense of in-form pair Clondaw Pretender and No Cruise Yet.

  1. AJAY'S WAYS (IRE)
  2. CLONDAW PRETENDER
  3. NO CRUISE YET
