Forecasts

Darkest Flyer (4/7), Bee An Aristocrat (7/2), Alamgiyr (10/1), Phantasmo (12/1), The Lastonetogo (12/1), Lean Times (16/1), Beneficial Society (20/1), Rock On Barney (20/1), Flemish Maid (20/1), Cnoc Na Sioga (20/1), Miss Mcilroy (22/1), Northern Emperor (25/1), Sir Vincent (25/1), Charlestown Boy (25/1), Mississippi John (25/1), Celtic Monarch (33/1), Drumlosh Sallie (33/1), Glen's Dd (33/1), General Gold (40/1)

Verdict

Not much pace to go with the lack of talent on show here with possibly Glen's DD, Northern Empoeror and Cnoc Na Sioga, vying for the lead. Encouraging fourth of 18 in Tipperary 3m handicap hurdle, Bee An Aristocrat and keeping on at the finish in 3m Tipperary handicap hurdle this month, Phantasmo can make the frame, while DARKEST FLYER, can continue his current run of form.
  1. Darkest Flyer
