Forecasts

Miracle Nation (11/10), Blue News (7/4), Desert Haven (7/4), First Gentleman (10/3), Glencullen (13/2), Dance Night Andday (14/1), Double Jabbed (22/1), Contradanza (28/1), Anaelle (40/1)

Verdict

Only a short head separated FIRST GENTLEMAN and Desert Haven when the pair met at Cork 33 days ago and, with the former boasting fewer miles on the clock, he gets the nod to confirm those placings with first-time cheekpieces now enlisted. Miracle Nation and Blue News complete the shortlist.

  1. FIRST GENTLEMAN (IRE)
  2. DESERT HAVEN
  3. MIRACLE NATION (IRE)
