Forecasts

Iroko (11/8), James Du Berlais (2/1), Jungle Boogie (7/2), Fil Dor (17/2)

Verdict

A tightly knit and high-quality minor race in which a case of sorts can be made for each of the quartet. Preference though, is for IROKO, who could hardly have shaped better when second on Haydock reappearance and he could end up in the very top company this season. Jungle Boogie is perhaps the pick of the Irish opposition.

  1. IROKO (FR)
  2. JUNGLE BOOGIE (IRE)
  3. JAMES DU BERLAIS (FR)
