Forecasts

Insinuendo (1/1), Sunset Shiraz (7/1), Agartha (7/1), Star Girls Aalmal (9/1), Delightful (9/1), Kerkiyra (11/1), Redressed (14/1), Comhra (16/1), Flame Of Eire (33/1), Angels Wrath (66/1)

Verdict

KERKIYRA's form took off in cheekpieces during the second half of 2022 and she's taken to pick up where she left off and overcome this rise in class. Insinuendo was second in this a year ago and she's the one to beat on her peak form, with Agartha another to consider.

  1. KERKIYRA (IRE)
