Forecasts

Bidentime (16/5), Mankhool (9/2), Friends N Commerce (9/2), Imperial Kate (15/2), Allbetsoff (8/1), Merry Moves (17/2), Light Parade (10/1), Hollington (12/1), Dev Of Tara (12/1), Highland Penny (16/1), Ger Mac (25/1), He Fitz In (33/1), Busty Boy (50/1), Autumn Philtre (250/1)

Verdict

Several of these can be expected to do better in handicaps in due course. ALLBETSOFF is a case in point, but there were nevertheless positives to glean from his penultimate start at Navan and he promises to be suited by this step up in trip. Mankhool will be a big threat if his stamina passes the test, while Imperial Katie is another to consider and Hollington is open to improvement.

  1. ALLBETSOFF (IRE)
  2. MANKHOOL (IRE)
  3. IMPERIAL KATE (IRE)
