Forecasts

Walnut Beach (10/3), Angel In The Sky (5/1), Vita Veritas (13/2), Sil Ver Klass (15/2), Third Avenue (15/2), Stellify (15/2), Pikaia (17/2), Comedy La Vega (10/1), Figlio D'arte (11/1), Contrapposto (14/1), Baltic Song (25/1), The Copper Kid (28/1), Ben Alexander (33/1), Must Be Dreaming (33/1), Brilliant Question (33/1), Solar System (33/1), Sanctuary Place (40/1), Xael (66/1), Willywampus (66/1), Antigua Son (66/1), Miss Yaboo (200/1)

Verdict

ANGEL IN THE SKY arrives at the top of her game and the way she went through the race at Curragh 11 days ago before ultimately finishing second suggests there are more races to be won. Walnut Beach and Stellify are a couple of potential threats.

  1. ANGEL IN THE SKY (IRE)
  2. WALNUT BEACH (IRE)
  3. STELLIFY (IRE)
