Forecasts

King Cuan (4/7), Jakajaro (4/1), James's Delight (4/1), Nemonte (4/1), Bid For Chester (12/1), Ocean Baroque (22/1), Duplantis (25/1), Beechwood Star (28/1), Truly Kodi (66/1), Velvet Skies (80/1), Martinelli (80/1), Copie Conforme (100/1), Apollo Prince (125/1), La Juliana (125/1), Excel In Space (150/1)

Verdict

A valuable contest. KING CUAN looked highly promising when effortlessly drawing clear of his rivals in a Cork auction event last week and could take a bit of stopping assuming he can cope with 2 outings in fairly quick succession. The Clive Cox-trained British raider James's Delight is another who is likely capable of better after only 2 starts and is second choice ahead of Jakajaro and Nemonte.

  1. KING CUAN
  2. JAMES'S DELIGHT (IRE)
  3. JAKAJARO (IRE)
