Forecasts

Charles Darwin (1/14), Spring Is Here (9/2), Cardiff By The Sea (12/1), Sir Alfie (22/1), Fresh Fade (33/1), Jack The Bachelor (66/1)

This may well revolve around CHARLES DARWIN who marked himself out as a colt with considerable potential when running out a dominant winner of a Naas maiden 4 weeks ago. He can land this with loftier assignments lying in wait. Spring Is Here shaped well starting out in listed company when fourth at the Curragh 13 days ago and is next best. Sir Alfie and Cardiff By The Sea are a couple of newcomers commanding a market check for clues.
