Forecasts

Intent Approach (2/1), Custom Taylor (5/2), Staffordshire Knot (11/2), Millstream Lady (6/1), Olympic Man (10/1), Timmy Tuesday (10/1), Sarah Beara (22/1), Indiana Jones (40/1), Brazil (50/1)

Verdict

The market should offer plenty of clues in this Pertemps Qualifier but the most solid option is progressive CUSTOM TAYLOR who landed a hat-trick in dominant fashion on his return at Gowran and may well land the 4-timer. Sarah Beara was shaping well prior to falling in December and did finish second on her reappearance last season, while Olympic Man has shown he isn't a lost cause with some creditable efforts on the Flat of late.

  1. CUSTOM TAYLOR (IRE)
  2. SARAH BEARA (IRE)
  3. OLYMPIC MAN (FR)
