Forecasts

Ballyward (6/4), Someday (9/4), Mortal (9/2), Massey's Wood (12/1), Cherokee Bill (14/1), Dicey O'reilly (18/1), Sonowyouno (33/1), Gemmattymoll (33/1), All Good Things (40/1), Captain Commander (100/1)

Verdict

Jessica Harrington's Someday will be up with the early leaders here with possibly All Good Things, Mortal and Cherokee Bill also racing prominently. The Willie Mullins-trained BALLYWARD won at this meeting last year and looking impressive winning by 16L. Sure to be ready for return and would not have to improve much to take this. Joseph O'Briens Mortal is worth another chance who along with the prominent Someday can battle for the minors.
  1. Ballyward
