Forecasts

Young Darleen (7/4), Fruit Blossom (9/2), No Fussing (7/1), Walk Out (15/2), Sixty Seconds (9/1), Monza Man (10/1), Out The Gap (10/1), Be Fierce (11/1), Ballagh Star (18/1), Leis Fein (66/1), Janverlil (80/1), Stradbally Village (80/1), Ozark Thunder (80/1), Max Time (100/1)

Verdict

Not nearly so competitive as the numbers suggest and YOUNG DARLEEN looks to have been found a good opportunity to open her account on the back of her good Clonmel fifth. Walk Out is feared most if, as expected, building on her recent seventh in that contest, with No Fussing and Fruit Blossom two more who can have a say.

  1. YOUNG DARLEEN (IRE)
  2. WALK OUT (IRE)
  3. NO FUSSING (IRE)
