Forecasts

Fighter Allen (11/8), Torygraph (9/4), Heather Rocco (5/2), Angels Dawn (18/1)

Verdict

TORYGRAPH proved suited by the step up in trip when off the mark at Fairyhouse and is taken to follow up with further improvement likely. Heather Rocco looked a good prospect when making a winning debut at Limerick and is feared most.

  1. TORYGRAPH (IRE)
  2. HEATHER ROCCO (IRE)
  3. FIGHTER ALLEN (FR)
