Forecasts

Roaring Bull (13/8), Laid Back Luke (4/1), Teacher's Pet (11/2), Surf Instructor (6/1), Lilshane (8/1), Killaro Boy (10/1), Double Portrait (14/1), Sanibel Island (20/1)

Verdict

The Gordon Elliott-trained, ROARING BULL can get a decent pull in to the race from Double Portrait before making his decisive move to follow-up on his win over Great Khan in a Fairyhouse beginners contest earlier this month, winning readily in the process. The six-year-old, in first-time blinkers can see off the attentions of the J P McManus-owned Teachers Pet and the enigmatic Lilshane given the 12-year-olds participation.
