Forecasts

Little Big Bear (4/9), Alexis Zorba (7/2), Keepupwithmyempire (10/1), El Tesoro (10/1), Bossy Parker (14/1), Profitable Edge (33/1), Thunderbear (40/1), Perfectlikethemoon (50/1), Laranjal (66/1), Palace Gardens (80/1)

Verdict

LITTLE BIG BEAR was just touched off on debut at the Curragh last month and it will be disappointing if he doesn't go one better here. Next on the list is Alexis Zorba, who also found just the one too good on his introduction and, like Little Big Bear, he is open to improvement. Newcomer El Tesoro is a likely-looking newcomer and needs close attention in the betting.

  1. LITTLE BIG BEAR (IRE)
  2. ALEXIS ZORBA
  3. EL TESORO (IRE)
