Ardad's Great¹⁹

Weight: 9-2| Age: 2

T: Mrs J Harrington J: Shane Foley

Forecasts

Ardad's Great (6/4), El Tesoro (85/40), Vanguard Star (11/4), Hispanic (3/1), Parting Glass (13/2), Jer Batt (8/1), Carlotta (14/1), Not Too Real Bad (22/1), Laranjal (150/1)

ARDAD'S GREAT was only just denied in a listed race at Tipperary in the summer and this looks a good opportunity for her. Hispanic remains with potential and is the main threat ahead of El Tesoro, whose debut form reads very well.
