Forecasts

Tatum (11/8), Pomeriggio (7/2), Expecto (7/1), Highland Bells (15/2), Koniag (15/2), La Juliana (12/1), Kathaniel (14/1), Kilworth Kate (25/1), Abel Mabel (40/1)

Verdict

This represents a good opportunity for TATUM to deservedly get off the mark. She has improved switched to nurseries the last twice and a 2 lb nudge for her recent Bellewstown near miss looks very fair indeed given that she pulled clear of the rest. Pomeriggio has also performed with credit since going down the nursery route and she is second choice ahead of Expecto and Koniag.
