Forecasts

Miraculous (11/4), Havana Rum (10/3), Kirkdale (5/1), Angel Gabriel (5/1), Alfa Whiteburd (15/2), Watchdog (15/2), Mission Command (9/1), Moonstone Boy (10/1), Top Juggler (10/1), Amazonian Dream (10/1), Society Kiss (10/1), Paws For Thought (11/1), Supreme King (12/1), Golden Brown (12/1), Proof (25/1)

Verdict

KIRKDALE carried on where he'd left off earlier in the year when returning from 5 months off with an excellent second, and if he can transfer that progress back to turf then he could resume winning ways at the expense of Havana Rum, who is well treated now and will appreciate the return to 6f, while Supreme King could take a hand.

  1. KIRKDALE (IRE)
  2. HAVANA RUM (IRE)
  3. SUPREME KING (IRE)
