Forecasts

Rocky Dreams (3/1), Ajax Tavern (4/1), Laugh A Minute (4/1), Inflection Point (9/2), No Speed Limit (15/2), Queens Carriage (15/2), Primo Uomo (8/1), Devious Angel (12/1)

Verdict

PRIMO UOMO evidently possesses his share of ability despite his advancing years and sure to strip fitter with his reappearance 3 weeks ago behind him, he looks the answer. Laugh A Minute and Ajax Tavern head the opposition.

  1. PRIMO UOMO (IRE)
  2. LAUGH A MINUTE
