Forecasts

Whiskeywealth (1/1), Chosen Diamond (11/2), It'sallabouteve (7/1), Young Fitzy (8/1), Derridae (8/1), Cafe Con Leche (10/1), Clairmc (14/1), Rovetta (18/1), Swelltime (18/1), Justicialism (22/1), Beau's Candle (40/1)

Verdict

YOUNG FITZY has got back on track on his last 2 starts, likely to have been placed but for a late mistake at Naas a fortnight ago, so he could be ready to return to winning ways off his career-low mark. Whiskeywealth is feared most as he bids for a hat-trick, ahead of Chosen Diamond.
