Forecasts

Mr King (11/4), Slieve Binnian (5/1), Moonlit Mist (11/2), Angelic Appeal (8/1), Hasten Slowly (8/1), Take Heart (9/1), Aurifodina (12/1), Halla Ban (14/1), Hotaugustnight (14/1), Free Flow (20/1), Duke Of Leggagh (20/1), Roaring Gallagher (22/1), Susiesparkle (33/1), No Big Deal (33/1)

Verdict

TAKE HEART looked anything but the finished article but was still talented enough to get the job done at Dundalk in March. Back from a break and representing an excellent yard, he can find the necessary improvement to make a winning handicap/turf debut. Hasten Slowly and Mr King are just a couple of potential threats.

  1. TAKE HEART (IRE)
  2. HASTEN SLOWLY (IRE)
  3. MR KING (IRE)
