Forecasts
Vera Verto (1/1), Only Sky (4/1), Douglas Dc (9/1), The Grey Dove (10/1), The Role Model (11/1), Minella Youngy (12/1), Coolcullen (16/1), Ceroc (25/1), Evenwood Sonofagun (25/1), Rock Ya Boy Ya (25/1), Noble Seal (28/1), Numidia (66/1), Albaquirky (66/1), Always Giving (80/1), Echo Gate (80/1), Millies Dream (100/1), Mythical Times (250/1), I Doubt That (300/1), Paperman (500/1)
VERA VERTO sets a decent standard so is given another chance to get off the mark. Only Sky showed plenty on her recent hurdling debut at Naas and seems sure to have a say with improvement on the cards, while the Gordon Elliott-trained pair of Douglas Dc and The Grey Dove also merit consideration.
