Forecasts

Shanty Alley (9/4), Didero Vallis (11/4), Mister Bells (7/2), Jimmy The Digger (4/1), Innisfree Lad (7/1), The Vollan (17/2), Rath An Iuir (17/2)

Verdict

None of these veterans are rock solid but it could be worth chancing JIMMY THE DIGGER back down in class off a reduced mark. Didero Vallis is another who is used to keeping better company so is next best ahead of Shanty Alley.

  1. JIMMY THE DIGGER
  2. DIDERO VALLIS (FR)
  3. SHANTY ALLEY
