Forecasts

Simpson's Paradox (13/8), Lord Vader (5/2), Bottler'secret (3/1), Katola (3/1), Spitfire Fighter (6/1), Awqaat (12/1), A Day In Deauville (16/1), Peddler's Lane (22/1), Grann's Boy (28/1), Saffronandblue (33/1), Rapid City (50/1), Our Matilda (50/1), Lynskey (66/1), Nancy Angel (66/1), Navajo River (150/1)

Verdict

SIMPSON'S PARADOX ran up to his best when runner-up to another low-mileage sort at Killarney 17 days ago and a repeat could well be enough to see Jessica Harrington's charge come out on top on this occasion. Katola is an interesting newcomer for Dermot Weld and she's feared along with Lord Vader. Spitfire Fighter is another debutant to monitor in the betting.
