Forecasts

Badger's Cove (6/4), Manifest Destiny (7/2), Pints In Peace (4/1), John La Bear (7/1), Femme Beauty (9/1), Sapphire Dream (10/1), Dunleer Dancer (11/1), Dream And Believe (16/1), Ballaghkeen (25/1), Keskon (25/1), Queen Leila (28/1), Push Harder (33/1), Wingit (33/1), Dawson Street (40/1), Maker's Mark (50/1), Carnival Spirit (100/1)

Verdict

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and MANIFEST DESTINY looks the way to go on the back of a good Galway fifth when not seen to ideal effect. Badger's Cover is feared most off a handy mark, while John La Bear and Dream And Believe also command plenty of respect.

  1. MANIFEST DESTINY (IRE)
  2. BADGER'S COVE
  3. JOHN LA BEAR (IRE)
