Forecasts

Western Diego (11/8), Touch Me Not (3/1), Undeniable Alibi (16/5), Shoot The Blues (7/2), Houlanbatordechais (7/2), Red Glory (25/1), Stagecoach Mary (33/1), Collaborative (40/1), Fremantle Doctor (80/1), Get It Right (125/1), Lake Manzaleh (150/1), Duke Of Doyen (200/1)

Verdict

UNDENIABLE ALIBI failed to meet expectations in a C&D bumper last month, but he's clearly thought capable of a good deal better and can be given another chance making a quick switch to hurdling. Shoot The Blues landed a Limerick bumper in taking fashion on his debut in October 2022 and warrants plenty of respect for all that he hasn't been seen since. Western Diego remains with potential based on his useful bumper form and must enter calculations, too.

  1. UNDENIABLE ALIBI (FR)
  2. SHOOT THE BLUES
  3. WESTERN DIEGO (IRE)
