Forecasts

Uncle Dick (6/5), Buy The Dip (5/2), Coloane (4/1), Free Step (6/1), Goose Rock (7/1)

Verdict

None of these can be ruled out but COLOANE can capitalise on a handy mark now and gain a deserved first success. In-form pair Free Step and Uncle Dick both bring solid credentials to the table and can chase home William Jarvis' filly in that order.

  1. COLOANE (IRE)
  2. FREE STEP (IRE)
  3. UNCLE DICK
