Forecasts

Fathom Two (7/4), Bukhill (11/4), Rockview Consort (10/3), Starman (4/1), New Year Honours (11/2), Timourid (20/1), Warm In Gorey (25/1), Simply Shabra (33/1)

Verdict

FATHOM TWO improved to open his account in a novice over C&D 3 weeks ago and, with further progress on the cards, he's narrowly preferred to Rockview Consort, who remains with potential as a hurdler. Timourid is also considered.

  1. FATHOM TWO (IRE)
  2. ROCKVIEW CONSORT
  3. TIMOURID (IRE)
