Forecasts

Is That Love (2/1), Spanish Tenor (3/1), Big Baby Bull (10/3), Sunday Sovereign (5/1), Tortured Soul (7/1), Ampeson (10/1), Tai Sing Yeh (11/1), Zero Fighter (12/1), Brown Eagle (16/1), Beauty Bella (18/1), Muhalhel (33/1), Big Dream (80/1), Irresistible You (80/1), Von Krolock (100/1)

Verdict

BIG BABY BULL wasn't at his best in a big-field Curragh handicap last time but has some fairly useful form to his name and can capitalise in this lesser company. Ampeson is another who can have a say on these terms, with Zero Fighter not discounted either in a trappy claimer.

  1. BIG BABY BULL (IRE)
  2. AMPESON
  3. ZERO FIGHTER (IRE)
