Forecasts

Cadamosto (7/4), Silver Surfer (7/4), Threebagsfull (13/2), Strapped (13/2), Black Pepper (11/1), Rhythm Of Zain (22/1), Noturningthatcher (28/1), Bayou Belle (50/1), Nepalaise (80/1)

Dundalk's first 2-y-o race of 2021 and CADAMOSTO rather leaps off the page. Aidan O'Brien has been fast out of the gates, with Ballydoyle's only juvenile runner so far Tenebrism looking very good as she won at Naas. It would be no surprise to see Cadamosto follow suit. Silver Surfer and Threebagsfull should both improve on their promising debuts.
