Forecasts

Mr Showtime (8/13), Westland Row (11/4), Atlantic Breaker (5/1), Verona Opera (20/1), Princess Harriet (66/1)

Verdict

A race that could work out quite simply, as Verona Opera makes the pace here and, in theory, setting the race up for the strong-travelling, MR SHOWTIME. who franked victory in a 2m hurdle at Limerick, with a second of 10 when stepped up in trip in Kilbeggan novice hurdle.
  1. Mr Showtime
  2. Verona Opera
  3. Westland Row
