Forecasts

Read To Return (5/4), Upthereforthinking (5/1), Blossom De Mai (11/2), Lets Do This (6/1), Western Model (12/1), Butty O Brien (14/1), Ferrum (20/1), Ena Baie (25/1), Native Gold (25/1), Not May (28/1), Golden Nugget (33/1), Lariat (40/1), Ivar The Boneless (40/1), Cala Di Volpe (66/1), Jimli's Cave (100/1), Sundrenched (125/1)

Verdict

Lots with chances but BLOSSOM DE MAI returned better than ever with a stylish success at Tramore so looks the way to go. Upthereforthinking is much less exposed and rates a big threat with this return to a longer trip a likely plus, although a solid case can also be made for the likes of Read To Return, Lets Do This and Ferrum.
