Forecasts

Vestigia (11/4), Uncle Albert (7/2), Pomeriggio (7/2), Barley Cove (13/2), Poppadom (8/1), Promo Queen (10/1), Thia (11/1), Naisiun (22/1)

Verdict

VESTIGIA stepped up on his 2 previous efforts when fourth in a valuable sales race here 2 weeks ago and he makes plenty of appeal off a tempting opening mark with the step up in trip sure to suit. Uncle Albert pulled clear of the rest when runner-up to a subsequent winner on nursery bow at Sligo so is feared most ahead of Pomeriggio.
