Forecasts

Verdict

WESTERN DIEGO is low mileage for his age and was an emphatic winner at Fairyhouse earlier this month. He may be able to follow up. Jacob's Ladder and Ballysax Hank head the list of dangers in a typically competitive renewal of this contest.

  1. WESTERN DIEGO (IRE)
  2. JACOB'S LADDER (IRE)
  3. BALLYSAX HANK (IRE)
