Forecasts

Blood Destiny (4/11), Espanito Bello (6/1), Senecia (7/1), Rebel Gold (8/1), Arctic Skua (200/1)

BLOOD DESTINY shaped encouragingly after 9 months off when third in a Grade 2 at Thurles and this looks a good opportunity for him to resume winning ways. Espanito Bello can follow him home.
