Forecasts

Samcro (11/4), Snow Falcon (5/1), Abbey Magic (5/1), Peregrine Run (5/1), Darasso (11/2), Ornua (13/2), Effernock Fizz (16/1), Make My Heart Fly (20/1), Mortal (50/1), Born By The Sea (80/1)

SAMCRO had a lacklustre 2020/21 campaign but he showed plenty of guts when winning a Grade 3 at Killarney last month and is the class act here. Snow Falcon and Darasso head the dangers back over fences.
