Forecasts

Hardwired (11/4), Bonnie Kellie (11/4), The Flier Begley (3/1), Young Dev (13/2), Routine Excellence (8/1), Punitive (9/1)

Verdict

YOUNG DEV is well treated on his best form and should strip fitter for his reappearance, so he's worth chancing to make a winning return to chasing. The Flier Begley is likely to give his running again and Hardwired can't be dismissed.

  1. YOUNG DEV (IRE)
  2. THE FLIER BEGLEY (IRE)
  3. HARDWIRED (IRE)
