Forecasts

Double Or Bubble (5/4), Valeria Messalina (5/2), Happy Romance (5/1), Keep Busy (11/2), Bimble (14/1), Lovely Breeze (14/1), Glesga Gal (16/1), Dandalla (16/1), Mishal Star (16/1), More Beautiful (20/1), Friendly (25/1), Final Option (28/1), Chocoya (33/1), Shuthoor (40/1), Shepherds Way (50/1)

Verdict

VALERIA MESSALINA is coming to the boil now, turning in her best effort of the season when runner-up in a Group 3 at Fairyhouse 5 weeks ago, and she's well worth a try at this trip given the pace she has shown. Double Or Bubble is also a leading player on form and is another who shouldn't be hindered by the shorter distance, with Happy Romance and Keep Busy others to consider.

  1. VALERIA MESSALINA (IRE)
  2. DOUBLE OR BUBBLE (IRE)
  3. HAPPY ROMANCE (IRE)
