Forecasts

Silver Surfer (13/8), Cadamosto (7/4), Turn On The Jets (5/2), Freedom Of Speech (7/1), The Lion Strikes (8/1), Satin Snake (12/1), It'll Do My Day (14/1), Missing Matron (16/1), Pretty Pioneer (22/1)

The first 2yo race of 2021 in Ireland and the O'Brien family look to have the strongest claims. CADAMOSTO is out of a mare who won on her racecourse debut and he looks the one to be with here, particularly if the market speaks in his favour. Silver Surfer was an expensive yearling who has a speedy pedigree and he may be the main danger. Turn On The Jets is bred for speed and makes some appeal.
