Forecasts

Port Joulain (1/1), You Oughta Know (7/4), Glenashling (7/1), Withabitofluk (8/1), French Hill (14/1), Bayrann (28/1), Brave Brigadier (125/1), Gringo D'ainay (125/1), Millbrook Queen (150/1), Shanroe Nancy (150/1), Restless Lady (250/1), Royal Noble (250/1), Garde My Fortune (250/1), Uppertown Hill (250/1)

Verdict

In truth, FRENCH HILL probably doesn't possess the potential of bumpers winners Port Joulain, You Oughta Know and Withabitofluk (in order of preference) but it could be that her race-fitness will prove decisive. The 5-y-o left the form she achieved in a handful of runs for Denis Hogan well behind when going close on debut for this yard at Tipperary and there could be more to come now that she is seemingly on the right path.

  1. FRENCH HILL (IRE)
  2. PORT JOULAIN (FR)
  3. YOU OUGHTA KNOW (IRE)
