Forecasts

Mongibello (13/8), Quint Major (5/2), Fast Felix (5/1), Lazy Bones (7/1), Pay The Tab (7/1), Sporting Glory (22/1), Helicon (28/1), Step Out (33/1), Im Just Me (50/1), Torquay Road (50/1), Marlpark (80/1), Tollymore (80/1)

Verdict

Given that MONGIBELLO was runner-up in a listed race on her first Rules outing, she should have enough to open her account in this lesser contest. That said, Lazy Bones is one to note on paper and will be well worth monitoring in the betting.

  1. MONGIBELLO
  2. LAZY BONES (IRE)
  3. QUINT MAJOR (IRE)
