T: Jonathan Sweeney J: Mr M O'Flynn

Forecasts

Seeitoldya (2/1), Cinammon Roll (7/2), Only For Our Man (5/1), Ludovico Sforza (6/1), Better Times (13/2), Stanners Glen (7/1), Minella Mania (15/2), Loyal Praetorian (14/1), Mr Blaketon (40/1), Baltracey (50/1), Phoenix Arizona (150/1), Another Belter (150/1), Tokens Glory (200/1)

The betting will likely be informative here with several maiden point winners on show. SEEITOLDYA was a winner of his sole start between the flags under Derek O'Connor in March and he is an appealing alternative to likely favourite Cinammon Roll, who was also partnered by O'Connor when winning his maiden point in December and has since joined a top yard. Only For Our Man did pretty well in points and he is third choice ahead of Ludovico Sforza and Stanners Glen.
