Forecasts

On The Go Again (4/1), The Tulip (4/1), Crafted Jewel (9/2), Settle For Red (5/1), Mainicin (8/1), Coffee (8/1), Misty Mountain (14/1), Hague Convention (14/1), Nelson Road (20/1), Piccadilly Jim (20/1), Sliver Thisle (33/1)

Verdict

The Tulip has just one AW victory on the board but has been threatening on turf lately, finishing second the last twice. She should be on the board sooner rather than later and represents a trainer with a 29% strike rate of late. ON THE GO AGAIN scored at Bellewstown last month over a mile and is forgiven a tame effort in a hot Galway handicap since. With no doubts regarding stamina, he can get back on track in these calmer waters. Mainicin would have claims on a good day while Crafted Jewel, Nelson Road and handicap debutant Hague Convention are others of note.
