Forecasts

Na Trachtalai Abu (3/1), Major Destination (9/2), Dorans River (6/1), Waaheb (7/1), Batchelors Walk (8/1), The Gatechecker (11/1), Mr Boss Man (14/1), Carrigready (14/1), Odit (20/1), Kalamkan (20/1), Round Tower (20/1), Some Drama (25/1)

Verdict

Having run a sound race in a big-field Galway event off this mark at the start of the month over timber, NA TRACHTALAI ABU since shaped very well over fences from a much higher mark at Tramore and, with a repeat of that effort, should go close this evening. Major Destination was a promising third in a handicap at Ballybrit this month and has to be high on any shortlist racing from a 2lb higher perch now. Carrigready can threaten if in the mood while top-weight Dorans Pride and Batchelors Walk aren't to be dismissed.
  1. Na Trachtalai Abu
  2. Major Destination
  3. Dorans River
