Forecasts

Avalo (7/2), Eastmore (4/1), Dunkerque (13/2), Bannow Blaze (15/2), Desert Haven (8/1), Burru (8/1), Duke Otto (10/1), Pleasureofpressure (12/1), Stoneyford Lady (14/1), Agent Tequila (14/1), Swelltime (14/1), Finnicky Filly (16/1), Cathryns Ruby (25/1), Rock Ya Boy Ya (25/1), Fathom Two (33/1), Kinbara Hills (33/1), Bid Up (40/1)

Verdict

BANNOW BLAZE rates just the pick of the weights on the back of his excellent Cork second so edges the verdict in this highly competitive handicap. Swelltime figures on a handy mark and could emerge as the main threat now back in this sphere, although Desert Haven, Eastmore, Burru and Avalo all need factoring into this competitive handicap too.

  1. BANNOW BLAZE (IRE)
  2. SWELLTIME (IRE)
  3. DESERT HAVEN
