Forecasts

Redemption Day (11/10), Jalon D'oudairies (9/4), The Passing Wife (7/1), Ma Belle Etoile (8/1), Big Dee (17/2), Glowing Account (12/1), Luckinthecity (12/1), Eastbank Warrior (14/1), Switch From Diesel (28/1), Garswood Gold (150/1)

Verdict

REDEMPTION DAY hasn't been seen for 20 months but his top yard should have him ready and his second to Facile Vega in the Champion INH Flat Race at Punchestown is the standout piece of form, so he gets the nod. Jalon d'Oudairies is unbeaten in 2 (including a point) and looks the main danger ahead of Luckinthecity.
