Forecasts

Back Down Under (11/2), Cold Hearted (11/2), Saturn Seven (11/2), Rappell (13/2), Gordon Bennett (7/1), Never Shout Never (17/2), Brigid's Cloak (9/1), Tawaazon (10/1), Collective Power (11/1), Airspeed (12/1), Daamberdiplomat (14/1), Jon Riggens (18/1), Manhattan Chute (22/1), Verified (40/1)

Verdict

Following a series of solid efforts in defeat, NEVER SHOUT NEVER is taken to deservedly get his head back in front. The 5-y-o doesn't boast the most compelling strike rate (2-30), but he remains on a feasible mark and did well to finish as close as he did at Listowel last time given the traffic problems he encountered. Gordon Bennett is feared most ahead of last-time-out winners Cold Hearted and Saturn Seven, while Tawaazon is also accorded respect.

  1. NEVER SHOUT NEVER (IRE)
  2. GORDON BENNETT (IRE)
  3. COLD HEARTED (IRE)
