Forecasts

Ballsbridge (7/2), Martin's Brig (7/2), True Nation (9/2), Bay Dream Believer (9/2), Star Of St James (5/1), Concert Boy (10/1), Loom Large (20/1), Skedaddled (50/1)

Verdict

STAR OF ST JAMES has been knocking on the door lately and can deservedly get his head back in front. Bay Dream Believer's slow starts are becoming an increasingly regular occurrence, but she has reached the frame on all outings this year and gets the nod for the forecast spot ahead of Martin's Brig, who arrives in form from AW.

  1. Star Of St James5/1
  2. Bay Dream Believer9/2
  3. Martin's Brig7/2
