Forecasts

Anyway (1/1), Gwan Tadhg (11/4), Hollys Honour (7/1), Blackberry Jack (9/1), Tea It Is (12/1), Breagagh (12/1), Charle Brune (16/1), Greatmindstinkalik (16/1), Georgie's Gal (18/1), Grizabella (20/1), Karloss (20/1), Leading Flame (50/1), Wee Jerry (50/1), Across The Ocean (80/1)

Verdict

GWAN TADHG is a rare one here in that he brings winning form to the table and he's fancied to strike again. Breagagh is feared most ahead of Anyway and the potentially very interesting Karloss.

  1. GWAN TADHG (IRE)
  2. BREAGAGH (IRE)
  3. ANYWAY (GER)
