Forecasts

True Faith (11/8), Gateau De Miel (10/3), Broken Ice (9/2), Quaker Island (13/2), Cahirdown Boy (14/1), One For Joe (16/1), Room To Roam (28/1), Elegant Dan (40/1), Falcon Park (40/1), Local Rogue (40/1), Hopefully (66/1)

Verdict

GATEAU DE MIEL jumped nicely when runner-up at Downpatrick on his chasing debut a couple of months ago and, with improvement on the cards, he takes marginal preference over stablemate True Faith who, admittedly, is Rachel Blackmore's choice. Broken Ice is best of the remainder.

  1. GATEAU DE MIEL (FR)
  2. TRUE FAITH (IRE)
  3. BROKEN ICE (IRE)
