Forecasts

The Grey Monty (7/2), Joshua Chamberlain (7/2), Paidi's Passion (11/2), Glendars Mahler (7/1), Gladiatorial (15/2), Sargent Lightfoot (17/2), Lighthouse Rose (10/1), Snugsborough Benny (16/1), Porky Rush (16/1), Moneynabane (20/1)

Verdict

THE GREY MONTY's return from a year off here a fortnight ago was very promising and on that evidence, this mark is within range. Glendars Mahler and Paidi's Passion are a couple of viable threats.

  1. THE GREY MONTY (FR)
  2. GLENDARS MAHLER (IRE)
  3. PAIDI'S PASSION (IRE)
