Forecasts

Little Ledgend (13/8), Bel Ombre (85/40), Prairie Diamond (11/2), Best Night (12/1), Taritino (12/1), Bigz Belief (12/1), Good For You (12/1), Sawpit Sienna (14/1), Mancero (18/1), Saucats (33/1), Cotton End (50/1), Lucky Bounce (66/1), Absolut Grey (100/1), Poet's Reflection (125/1)

Verdict

BEL OMBRE has a very workable opening mark based on his bumper form so a step forward on his qualifying runs looks on the cards. Little Ledgend has been eased 2 lb despite finishing second last time and is a huge threat for his successful stable, with Prairie Diamond also of interest.

  1. BEL OMBRE (IRE)
  2. LITTLE LEDGEND (IRE)
  3. PRAIRIE DIAMOND (IRE)
