Forecasts

Shar Whats Therush (6/1), Call A Cab (13/2), Caltex (13/2), Last Man Standing (7/1), Sparky Stowaway (8/1), Chesterfield King (8/1), Back Bar (9/1), Benefit Of Magic (12/1), Snugsborough Hall (12/1), Hows Patsy (12/1), Nobody Home (16/1), Global Fert (20/1), Poker Party (20/1), Dundrum Lad (20/1)

Verdict

CHESTERFIELD KING put in a sound performance when finishing runner-up at Leopardstown last month and a repeat of that effort can see him register a second success over hurdles at this venue. The forecast heavy going should suit today and he can get the better of his rivals with Back Bar, a handicap hurdle winner at Clonmel last time out capable of finishing best of the remainder. Hows Patsy has placed the last twice and he can finish third on this occasion.
  1. Chesterfield King
  2. Back Bar
  3. Hows Patsy
