Forecasts

Leone Alato (6/4), Law Court (3/1), Dark Shore (4/1), Kilfrush Blue (15/2), Because We Can (10/1), Superior (18/1), Ajuda Road (20/1), Manly Fireball (33/1), Into The Sky (80/1), Little Chief (125/1), High Boltage (125/1), Royalist (150/1), Halloween Lady (200/1)

Verdict

An intriguing maiden in which preference is for Charlie Appleby's LEONE ALATO who shaped well when third in a recent Newmarket maiden and can build on it to thwart Dark Shore who also has better days ahead of him judged on his promising Ffos Las second last time out. Newcomers Because We Can and Kilfrush Blue along with recent course debut fourth Law Court can also have a say.

  1. Leone Alato6/4
  2. Dark Shore4/1
  3. Because We Can10/1
