Forecasts

Shamrock Sprig (3/1), Nibras Rainbow (5/1), Roman Harry (7/1), Manhattan Dandy (15/2), Dark Viper (8/1), Sneddy Eddie (8/1), Cannes Do (12/1), Play It Again Zaam (12/1), Blanc De Noir (14/1), Hope And Innocence (25/1), Share The Treasure (28/1), Lady Montse (33/1), The Fog Horn (40/1), Bang Po (50/1), Second Fiddle (66/1)

Verdict

DARK VIPER is taken to deservedly get his head in front having found just one too good for the third time this season at Sligo last time. If on-song Manhattan Dandy will be a big threat and he is next on the list ahead of Shamrock Sprig. Others to consider in this competitive handicap include Cannes Do, Nibras Rainbow and Play It Again Zaam.

  1. DARK VIPER
  2. MANHATTAN DANDY (IRE)
  3. SHAMROCK SPRIG (IRE)
