Forecasts

Zenford (6/4), Caitouna (10/3), Watch Tower (4/1), Venetian Star (15/2), Chapel Lane (16/1), Invincible Will (18/1), Dark Leader (18/1), Time Bender (28/1), Mighty Danu (33/1), Dawn Romance (50/1)

Verdict

This can go to ZENFORD, who did well to pick up the well-ridden Venetian Star having still been last of all turning in at Limerick last month. Patrick Foley's charge looks the one to give the selection most to do again, although Watch Tower can be expected to get much closer having shaped as if his reappearance was needed when fourth in that same contest.

  1. ZENFORD (IRE)
  2. VENETIAN STAR (IRE)
  3. WATCH TOWER (IRE)
