Forecasts

Whiskey On Ice (9/4), Broderick (3/1), Parish Quiz (4/1), Better Be Definite (11/2), Western Mount (7/1), Princesse Milania (11/1), Express Run (28/1), Broken Ice (50/1), Palm Beach (100/1)

Verdict

Stablemates WHISKEY ON ICE and Better Be Definite both make plenty of appeal, with preference for the former who took a step in the right direction when finding just one too good off this mark on his handicap debut at Musselburgh. Better Be Definite is greatly respected, despite going up 7 lb for his runaway Ayr success. Princesse Milania can usually be relied upon to run her race and she is third choice ahead of C&D scorer Parish Quiz.

  1. WHISKEY ON ICE (IRE)
  2. BETTER BE DEFINITE
  3. PRINCESSE MILANIA (IRE)
