Forecasts

Mathan (10/11), Nancy J (3/1), Ethical Code (4/1), Saint Brandon (5/1), Queens Fury (11/1), Monotone (14/1), Shiota (14/1), Spycraft (33/1)

Verdict

A really interesting minor event with all 8 previous winners but the vote goes to MATHAN, who looked a smart prospect when taking apart a maiden at the Curragh last month and he can take another leap forward. Jessica Harrington and Shane Foley combined to take this last year and Nancy J may emerge as the main threat to the selection on return, with Ethical Code and Shiota taken to fight out minor honours.
