Forecasts

Zaidi (4/5), Naruto (2/1), Minella Diamond (9/1), Plunkett Street (12/1), Self Isolation (12/1), Answering (14/1), Sequestered (28/1), What's Lariat Now (28/1), Johnny M (50/1), Golden Star (50/1), Nytol (80/1), Scipio Africanus (100/1)

Verdict

NARUTO appeals on paper and hails from a top yard so is taken to make a winning debut at the chief expense of Zaidi who starts out for Gordon Elliott having shown promise when second in a Fairyhouse bumper. What's Lariat Now appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

  1. NARUTO (IRE)
  2. ZAIDI (FR)
  3. WHAT'S LARIAT NOW (IRE)
