Forecasts

Sphagnum (13/8), Battle Of Benburb (11/2), My Friend The Wind (13/2), Da Big Fella (7/1), Jetango (10/1), O Mio Babbino (12/1), Battle Away (14/1), Roscomroe (14/1), Lightning Star (14/1), Joan Of Pimlico (16/1), Power Drive (18/1), Profound (20/1), Fly De Megaudais (20/1), Shannon Gray (25/1), Capture The Drama (33/1), Western Dreaming (40/1), Mooney Boy (40/1), Deal Again (66/1), Present Rock (80/1)

Verdict

SPHAGNUM snapped a lengthy losing sequence for his yard at Sligo on Sunday and given the manner of that win, the follow up may well be forthcoming under a penalty. My Friend The Wind will likely give it another good go, with Battle Away one to monitor in the betting.

  1. SPHAGNUM (IRE)
  2. MY FRIEND THE WIND (IRE)
  3. BATTLE AWAY (IRE)
