Forecasts

Absolutely Doyen (8/11), Walks The Talk (10/3), Lewisham Grove (7/1), Sleedagh (17/2), Out Of The Woods (16/1)

Verdict

The claims of ABSOLUTELY DOYEN are pretty persuasive given his progressive profile and the fact that he's unbeaten in four starts for the Nicholls yard. Sleedagh and Irish raider Walks The Talk both remain open to improvement, too, and are feared most in that order of preference. Lewisham Grove should also be on the premises but the aforementioned trio bring stronger credentials to the party.

  1. ABSOLUTELY DOYEN (IRE)
  2. SLEEDAGH (IRE)
  3. WALKS THE TALK (IRE)
