Forecasts

My Mate Alfie (8/13), Starliner (7/2), Battle Cry (4/1), King Of Gosford (10/1), Interestnpenalties (80/1), Rogerwaswrong (125/1), T Or Coffey (125/1)

Verdict

MY MATE ALFIE possesses much the best form on offer so looks the way to go after two fairly useful placed efforts at the Curragh. Newcomer Starliner could emerge as the chief threat, especially if the market vibes are positive, with Battle Cry not ruled out either for his top yard.

  1. MY MATE ALFIE (IRE)
  2. STARLINER (IRE)
  3. BATTLE CRY (IRE)
