Forecasts

Big Jim Dwyer (8/11), Eclair De Beaufeu (3/1), Vocarium (6/1), Classic Concorde (7/1), Young Jack Yates (16/1), One Down (22/1), Excelcior (25/1), Dromhale Vita (40/1), Feathered Gold (40/1), Future Proof (66/1), Tomeric (66/1), Our Nancy (66/1), Beau's Candle (80/1), Mister O Reilly (150/1), Lough Manor (200/1)

Verdict

VOCARIUM has been off the track since September but he receives weight from most in a race lacking strength in depth and makes as much appeal as any of these. Eclair de Beaufeu and Classic Concorde are a couple of potential threats.

  1. VOCARIUM (IRE)
  2. ECLAIR DE BEAUFEU (FR)
  3. CLASSIC CONCORDE (IRE)
