Forecasts

Tadaawol (6/4), Vallarta (11/2), Tavener (6/1), Shootingsta (6/1), Flinty Fell (9/1), Short Work (16/1), Fidra Bay (16/1), Donnelly's Rainbow (16/1), Ralphy Boy (20/1)

Verdict

It will be to the advantage of TAVERNER if Ralphy Boy doesn’t run here as that could well hand him an easy lead from an advantageous draw on a track that suits those who like to lead. Tadaawol has been consistent enough and this is his last chance to run to run off his old mark as he’s going up 3lb in future handicaps. Vallarta is consistent enough and could take a hand while it won’t be a total surprise if the O’Meara yard find the key to Short Work.
