Forecasts

Duvessa (6/4), Joe Cool (11/4), Daddy Long Legs (10/3), Murat (15/2), Steel Cut (10/1), Counting Coup (25/1), Tears I Nevercried (33/1), Annacroft (66/1), Medadthebookie (80/1), Sea Celia's Star (80/1), Double Indian (100/1)

Verdict

JOE COOL was only beaten by the improving Tim Toe on his latest Flat outing and is taken to follow up last month's win over hurdles. Daddy Long Legs looks worth another chance back on the Flat, while Duvessa should be in the mix with improvement expected. Murat is another to note on his first start on the level.

  1. JOE COOL (IRE)
