Forecasts

Verdict

If there's one who is ahead of the assessor, it's surely MARILYN MONROE. Admittedly, she hasn't pulled up any trees in a handful of runs over hurdles, but this point winner showed plenty of ability in bumpers and improvement may be forthcoming now handicapping and faced with a stiffer test. Tango Du Roy, Bomber's Moon and Drumreagh all improved last time out and are feared most in that order.

  1. MARILYN MONROE (IRE)
  2. TANGO DU ROY (IRE)
  3. BOMBER'S MOON
