Forecast Prices: Sarahmae 11/8, Shadow Of The Moon 5/1, Daneh Of Dandy 11/2, Treasured Royal 10/3, Mary Shoelaces 10/1, Two And Two 12/1, Bel Espoir 33/1
oddschecker Verdict
A winner at Cork last Sunday, SARAHMAE can follow up for trainer Denis Hogan. Landing a tidy gamble on that occasion, the four-year-old scored with a bit in hand. Now rated 10lb higher, the daughter of Magna Grecia has been competitive off similar marks in the past and should give another good account. Mary Shoelaces, who had been in good form at the end of last season, should be all the better for her recent return at Navan. A prominent racer, she has drawn the perfect stall to adopt front running tactics, while Daneh Of Dandy has to be respected on her first start for the Paddy Twomey stable.
Prediction: 1st Sarahmae, 2nd Mary Shoelaces, 3rd Daneh Of Dandy
