Forecasts

Capodanno (15/8), Broomfields Jeremy (5/2), Capilano Bridge (13/2), Velvet Elvis (8/1), Slige Dala (17/2), Crosshill (10/1), Carrolls Cottage (12/1), Castlebrook (28/1)

CAPILANO BRIDGE justified support to resume winning ways on just his second handicap start at Naas 15 days ago, posting significant improvement in the process, and has a good chance on these terms. Capodanno comfortably landed the odds in a novice at Clonmel and rates the main threat ahead of Slige Dala.
