Forecasts

Verdict

Successful on all-weather earlier this year, NEVER BETTER shaped well back from a break/gelding operation when finishing third at Newbury (1m) 3 weeks ago. A good sort physically, he appeals as the type to progress further on turf and earns the vote. Thriving hat-trick seeker Dain Ma Nut In and Cancan In The Rain are others to consider, with Keep Warm also making each-way appeal.

  1. NEVER BETTER (IRE)
  2. DAIN MA NUT IN (IRE)
  3. CANCAN IN THE RAIN (IRE)
