Forecasts

Bold Optimist (7/2), Half Nutz (9/2), Sam's Xpress (9/2), Inishmot Prince (7/1), Distillate (7/1), Pulse Of Shanghai (15/2), Hezahunk (9/1), Eastern Wind (10/1), Furnace Creek (16/1), Marks Bear (18/1), Sense Of Security (80/1), Najat (150/1)

Verdict

There should be more to come from recent C&D maiden winner BOLD OPTIMIST who can see off a bunch of much more exposed opponents now moving into handicap company. Course specialist Inishmot Prince arrives in form and is second choice ahead of Distillate, who is better than she showed at the Curragh last time and won here at the start of her career.

  1. BOLD OPTIMIST (IRE)
  2. INISHMOT PRINCE (IRE)
  3. DISTILLATE
