Forecasts

Irish Panther (11/8), Ballyburn (7/4), Quantum Storm (10/3), Champagne Admiral (14/1), Paul's Pal (20/1), Sky Lewis (28/1), One And Only (33/1), Great Universe (50/1), Willie The Coo (100/1), Portnacoo (150/1), The Shantou King (200/1), Scipio Africanus (250/1), Le Grand Peinture (250/1)

Verdict

BALLYBURN won his only start in points and should be tough to beat on his first go under Rules. Quantum Storm, who also has form between the flags, is also of interest although the main threat might come from Irish Panther given what he achieved on debut.

  1. BALLYBURN (IRE)
  2. IRISH PANTHER
  3. QUANTUM STORM (IRE)
