Forecasts

Gee Force Flyer (8/13), Off The Jury (2/1), Newbrook Diamond (11/2), Minutes To Spare (14/1), Holy Joe (20/1), Expensive Emotion (25/1), Heffalump (50/1), Eagle's Cairn (125/1), Prince Phil (250/1), Run Baby Run (300/1)

Verdict

GEE FORCE FLYER's third in the EBF Final at Sandown is a notably strong piece of form and he should take a bit of stopping back in a maiden, particularly as chief form rivals Off The Jury and Newbrook Diamond need to bounce back from lesser efforts last time. Adrian Keatley's Irish point recruit Expensive Emotion would also enter calculations if the betting speaks in her favour.

  1. GEE FORCE FLYER (IRE)
  2. OFF THE JURY (IRE)
  3. NEWBROOK DIAMOND (IRE)
