Forecasts

Kauri Cliffs (11/5), Ecliptical (4/1), A Case Of You (15/2), Zozimus (8/1), Virtual Hug (8/1), Mister Hitchcock (10/1), My Minervina (11/1), No Patience (14/1), Lust For Life (20/1), White Pepper (22/1), Too Bright (28/1), Pageboy (80/1), Benkogambit (100/1), Evergreen And Red (150/1)

KAURI CLIFFS is bred to be useful and duly showed plenty amid inexperience when third in a maiden at Galway on debut last month, and can find the required improvement to beat Virtual Hug, who sets the standard on his fourth at Gowran. Market confidence in Jessica Harrington's newcomer My Minervina would look significant.
