Forecasts

Hesamanofhisword (13/8), Stansfield (3/1), King Alex (4/1), The Gunner Murphy (9/2), The Echo Boy (6/1), Southerner (6/1), Samurai Cracker (7/1), Agent Boru (16/1), Diamond Turf (18/1)

Verdict

STANSFIELD has had a good spell since the turn of the year so looks the most solid option. The Gunner Murphy is a classy sort so he may provide the chief threat if ready to roll after a year off. Hesamanofhisword looks best of the rest.

  1. STANSFIELD (IRE)
  2. THE GUNNER MURPHY (IRE)
  3. HESAMANOFHISWORD (IRE)
