Forecasts

Ta Na La (5/2), First Dare (5/2), Vischio (13/2), Betty Dutton (13/2), Cash The Cheque (8/1), Hasten Slowly (10/1), Saddle Her Up (12/1), Optional Mix (22/1), Timeless Piece (25/1)

Verdict

FIRST DARE took another step forward on the back of a break when a ready winner at Tramore 4 weeks ago and she may well be up to defying the assessor again on that evidence. Ta Na La, who chased home the selection that day is a threat once more on these revised terms. Hasten Slowly and Cash The Cheque are others fancied to be in the mix.

  1. FIRST DARE (IRE)
  2. TA NA LA (USA)
  3. HASTEN SLOWLY (IRE)
