Forecasts

Pour Les Filles (11/10), Youlita (4/1), Slieve Annilog (11/2), Mic Drop (8/1), Syracus Du Houx (10/1), Cappa Hill (10/1), Herja (10/1), So Far Away (25/1), Union Alley (25/1), Two's Kompany (33/1), Weather Alert (33/1), Glenmore River (50/1), Kasper Blou (50/1), Be Positive (66/1), My Boy Christy (100/1), Ellies Rock (100/1), Kir Royal Blou (100/1)

Verdict

This represents a good opportunity for POUR LES FILLES, who went close on his belated seasonal reappearance at Down Royal recently and this step back up in trip looks a good move. Herja is next best on the back of a promising debut here, while Slieve Annilog is third choice ahead of Cappa Hill.
