Forecasts

The Flying Poet (6/4), Major Champion (9/2), Independent Jimmy (11/2), Fairland (7/1), My Friend Yeats (8/1), Tamlaght Eyes (11/1), Florita (18/1), Pop The Question (50/1), Golden Swift (250/1)

Verdict

THE FLYING POET cost plenty as a 3-y-o and the way he shaped on last month's debut at Bangor suggests there's plenty more to come from him over this sort of trip. He can improve beyond the level set by Major Champion and Independent Jimmy.

  1. THE FLYING POET (IRE)
  2. MAJOR CHAMPION
