Forecasts
Meri Devie (4/6), Duca De Thaix (4/1), Us And Them (9/2), Dolciano Dici (6/1), Prospectus (8/1), Balakani (10/1)
Trainer Joseph O'Brien is unlikely to change successful tactics for Us And Them who can be expected to take the field along in the early stages of this Grade 3. MERI DEVIE has already put Duca De Thaix in his place and is taken to step up on his last two performances and repeat the feat here. The selections stablemate Dolciano Dici is worth a market check on Irish debut.
- Meri Devie
- Us And Them
- Duca De Thaix
