Forecasts

Transcending Glory (10/3), Current Option (5/1), Ice Cold In Alex (11/2), Back Down Under (6/1), Von Krolock (13/2), Port Louis (7/1), Secret Magician (8/1), Hightimeyouwon (12/1), Positive Energy (14/1), Serialise (16/1), Alexander John (25/1), New Definition (28/1), What A Squeeze (66/1), Gobi Star (66/1)

Verdict

PORT LOUIS finished an excellent third despite a troubled passage at Fairyhouse a month ago and on that evidence, he can win from his current mark. Fellow 3-y-o Transcending Glory is feared, along with Current Option who ended a lengthy winless sequence at Fairyhouse last time.

  1. PORT LOUIS (IRE)
  2. TRANSCENDING GLORY (IRE)
  3. CURRENT OPTION (IRE)
