Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: P E Corbett⁽³⁾| T: D H Kelly

Forecasts

Jimmy Two Times (8/15), Master Of Verse (4/1), Rueben James (7/1), Little Haarth (12/1), Atlantic Breaker (16/1), Ballinahow Bill (50/1), Mill Forge (50/1)

The outsider Ballinahow Bill will possibly take the field along here in the early stages, but it will be only a matter of time before JIMMY TWO TIMES takes up the mantle and goes to win a race that should be well within his grasp. Master Of Verse and Little Haarth are the best of a poor bunch.
