Forecasts

Vierson (7/2), Starting Monday (4/1), Drish Melody (9/2), Half Nutz (5/1), Carvalhal (9/1), Hell Left Loose (11/1), Wasittheway (12/1), Draiocht (16/1), Super Exceed (16/1), Lady Delila (22/1), Jacks Inn (33/1), Wrist Art (33/1), Angels Instead (40/1), Swiss Army Officer (50/1), Bella Mistiko (100/1)

Verdict

VIERSON is lurking on a handy mark and she could be the answer on the back of a creditable effort at Cork last week, for all that a return to 1¼m would be ideal. Next on the list is Starting Monday, while Carvalhal and Half Nutz are others to consider.

  1. Vierson7/2
  2. Starting Monday4/1
  3. Carvalhal9/1
