Forecasts

Irwin (4/9), Razdan (4/1), Ben Asker (17/2), Virtual Hug (11/1), Rock Etoile (16/1), Go Large (16/1), Trusty Scout (25/1), Moonlight Charge (50/1), El C Wells (80/1), Bramble Sand (80/1), Miss March (80/1), Tynan (200/1), Wicklow Silver (200/1), Rock Ya Boy Ya (250/1)

IRWIN ran a race full of promise on debut here last month and looks the one to beat with improvement on the cards for his in-form yard. There could be more to come from gelded Razdan in 2021, while Virtual Hug has place claims again.
