Forecasts

Roja Dove (9/4), Naughty But Nice (11/4), Lockeen Girl (7/2), Pat's Oscar (5/1), Golden Flowerpower (12/1), Glen's Dd (25/1), Cerca Trova (25/1), Trans Wood (40/1), Lizzies Way (66/1)

Verdict

Golden Flowerpower likes to get on with things and could be a danger given her running style here now switched back to hurdles. The consistent PAT'S OSCAR is taken to land the spoils here with the assistance of a powerful trainer/jockey combination. The game Naughty But Nice can hit the frame.
  1. Pat's Oscar
  2. Golden Flowerpower
  3. Trans Wood
