Forecasts

Vinnie Is Busy (8/11), Monkstreet (5/2), The Flier Begley (3/1), I Don't Get It (6/1), Winding River (9/1), The Miracle Man (22/1), Gonfalonier (33/1), Sekifi (33/1), Superdermo (150/1)

Verdict

VINNIE IS BUSY made a promising start to his career in 2020, winning a bumper on debut before finishing in the frame in only 2 further starts that year. He was then off for 2 years prior to an encouraging fourth at Fairyhouse last month and the 7-y-o can build on that effort to get off the mark. The main dangers could be Monkstreet and The Flier Begley, who are open to progress back down in trip.
