Forecasts

Himalayan Heights (4/1), Ephesus (4/1), Naturally Nimble (6/1), Empress Alma (15/2), Kentucky Gal (11/1), Highland Bling (11/1), Cruden (11/1), Brosna Town (11/1), Tiscommonknowledge (12/1), Dont Do Dramas (14/1), Courageous Strike (14/1), There's No Limit (25/1), Castleheath (33/1), Chick Flick (125/1)

Verdict

Jessica Harrington has dominated this 3-y-o handicap in recent years and perhaps CRUDEN has been saved for this since his Limerick maiden success in May. Ephesus and Brosna Town are other last-time-out maiden winners who could have more to offer in handicaps and make the shortlist along with the hat-trick seeking Empress Alma.

  1. CRUDEN
  2. EPHESUS (IRE)
  3. BROSNA TOWN (IRE)
