Forecasts

Cultram Abbey (5/4), Vivaldi Collonges (6/4), Al Co (13/2), Thomond (14/1), Winged Crusader (18/1)

Verdict

We should get a gauge on whether Vivaldi Collonges has been showing signs of a revival at home from the market here and if he has then a win would be no surprise, but he can't be recommended on what we saw last year and therefore the solid option looks to be CULTRAM ABBEY, his equal on official ratings and one who has proved his well being with a recent success between the flags. Al Co was another who struggled last term and if he misfires then Thomond might complete the frame.
  1. Cultram Abbey
  2. Vivaldi Collonges
  3. Thomond
