In depth

Verdict

A low-grade handicap in which FORGETMENOTBLUE may be good enough. Dermot Weld's filly produced several good runs in the spring and reappeared last month with a solid effort in a race that has worked out well at Down Royal. Zebos Beanos was a 66/1 chance for last month's handicap debut at Bellewstown but produced easily her best run to date and it will be a surprise if she doesn't get into contention. Breakintheclouds was at his best in testing conditions in the spring and found the ground too quick at Roscommon last time but Apologise has a lot of weight for his handicap debut.
