Forecasts

Planned Paradise (11/2), Destiny Is All (11/2), Concetto (6/1), Gentleman De Mai (7/1), Return Fire (17/2), Silver In Disguise (10/1), Just Don't Know (11/1), Geryville (12/1), Fairlawn Flyer (12/1), Court Master (12/1), Rath An Iuir (16/1), Innisfree Lad (16/1), If Not For Dylan (22/1), Nearly Perfect (28/1)

Verdict

CONCETTO lost his unbeaten chasing record at the hands of another progressive novice at Ludlow, but he looks the one who could still be ahead of his mark given his lightly-raced profile so is well worth another chance. Gentleman de Mai is another unexposed sort who's taken well to fences so rates the main threat ahead of Destiny Is All and Geryville.

  1. CONCETTO (FR)
  2. GENTLEMAN DE MAI (FR)
  3. DESTINY IS ALL (IRE)
