Forecasts

Vicar Street (2/1), Mickie Angel (5/2), Talk In The Park (5/1), Ocastle Des Mottes (13/2), Ballystone (7/1), Great Attitude (12/1), Wendrock (14/1), Themanintheanorak (14/1), Glens Sensation (50/1), Seventy Eight Team (50/1)

Verdict

Preference is for the lightly-raced VICAR STREET, who finished third in a Punchestown maiden on his seasonal/chasing debut despite racing too freely. With that run behind him, he is taken to open his account in this sphere at the expense of stablemate Ocastle Des Mottes, while Ballystone could go well on his chasing bow.
