Forecasts

Johnny Blue (1/6), Dunbulcan Bay (10/3), Saint Cyr De Pail (7/1), Bathgate (7/1), Lost In The Mist (10/1), Wild Grouse (14/1), Reely Delightful (25/1), Tiger Blade (50/1), Giddy Up (100/1)

Verdict

Not a maiden that will take much winning and JOHNNY BLUE has to be worth another chance with his yard going much better now. Dunbulcan Bay could be the danger starting out over hurdles for Dan Skelton, although Wild Grouse is also interesting on drier ground/fitted with tongue tie after a breathing operation having shaped with promise in a couple of runs in the autumn.

  1. JOHNNY BLUE (IRE)
  2. DUNBULCAN BAY (IRE)
  3. WILD GROUSE (IRE)
