Forecasts

Leap Day (16/5), Delicacy (18/5), Outrun The Storm (5/1), Naval Academy (11/2), Believe You Me (13/2), Touchwood (9/1), How's The Guvnor (10/1), My Mate Mike (12/1), Thoughtful Gift (50/1), Exquisement (150/1)

Verdict

It will be interesting to see if support arrives for DELICACY on her debut for the shrewd James Owen yard and, if it does, the hint should be taken. Leap Day put in a good shift on his first run following a truncated 2024 campaign and he is next on the list ahead of Outrun The Storm and My Mate Mike.

  1. DELICACY (IRE)
  2. LEAP DAY
  3. OUTRUN THE STORM (IRE)
