Forecasts

The Kodi Kid (11/10), Grand Scheme (5/2), Say It As It Is (11/2), Invincible Soldier (9/1), Diamond Bay (10/1), Rockstar Blonde (50/1)

Verdict

GRAND SCHEME improved quite markedly on his second run and looks the one to beat, though The Kodi Kid and Say It As It is have shown a similar level of form and the selection will need to progress further.

  1. GRAND SCHEME (IRE)
  2. THE KODI KID (IRE)
  3. SAY IT AS IT IS (IRE)
