Forecasts

Lady Arwen (4/1), Elmos Fire (4/1), Joe Masseria (9/2), Three Laws (11/2), The Pargey Bee (7/1), Eighty Eight (8/1), Brown Eagle (9/1), Believe In Science (10/1), Girl Crush (10/1), Pessoa (11/1), Mr Trinket (12/1), Way To Win (16/1), Arch Enemy (18/1), Sovereignty (18/1), Princess Azure (20/1), Nawraq (33/1), Ten Coins (33/1)

Verdict

LADY ARWEN finished well having been forced to switch at this course 6 days ago and the extra furlong should be in her favour, so she gets the marginal vote in a competitive event. Three Laws remains with potential and is another to be interested in, along with Eighty Eight.

  1. LADY ARWEN
  2. THREE LAWS (IRE)
  3. EIGHTY EIGHT (IRE)
