Bulls Aye³⁶

9/2

Lightly-raced winner. Fourth of 5 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 36 days ago, not ideally placed. Could yet have a bigger performance in him and respected up against older opposition.

7/2

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 58| CD

Forecasts

Gweedore (2/1), Flying Moon (7/2), Bulls Aye (9/2), Ventura Rascal (6/1), King Of Tonga (6/1), Get Knotted (17/2), Tilsitt (12/1), Bringitonboris (12/1), Corndavon Lad (16/1)

CORNDAVON LAD has held his form well since his C&D win in April and is selected to land a second career success under Paul Hanagan. Ventura Rascal seems to possess the right attitude and ought to give it another good shot from the front. Sole 3-y-o Bulls Aye is also respected.
