Forecasts

Indigo Five (11/4), San Aer (7/2), No More Porter (9/2), Grey Leader (5/1), Simply Sideways (17/2), Saltonstall (11/1), Martinstown (11/1), Flame Of Eire (18/1), Excuzio Joe (20/1), Mr Rango (25/1), Casanova (25/1), Arniemac (25/1), Current Option (28/1), Soaring Monarch (33/1)

Verdict

INDIGO FIVE is less exposed than most and took a step forward when opening her account in a C&D handicap 4 weeks ago, travelling well and suited by coming off the strong pace. With further progress in the offing, she could be up to defying this revised mark. Arniemac is an interesting contender also on debut for Ross O'Sullivan, with Grey Leader and Simply Sideways another pair on the shortlist.

  1. INDIGO FIVE (IRE)
