Forecasts

Monaasib (11/4), Pearls Galore (4/1), Lord Of The Lodge (5/1), Soul Search (11/2), Real Appeal (6/1), Speak In Colours (15/2), Snapraeterea (8/1), Surrounding (16/1), Smash Williams (22/1), Admiral Nelson (22/1), Koolasice (40/1)

Verdict

PEARLS GALORE clearly wasn't 100% for whatever reason at Dundalk in November and she's well worth another chance to get back on track after a break with her previous second in a Group 3 at Gowran having worked out well. Lord of The Lodge and Snapraeterea head the opposition.

  1. PEARLS GALORE (FR)
  2. LORD OF THE LODGE (IRE)
  3. SNAPRAETEREA (IRE)
