Form: 1F311-0

Forecasts

Tiger Voice (3/1), Aramax (7/2), Konitho (4/1), Pakens Rock (4/1), Filon D'Oudairies (8/1), Our Friend (12/1), Hesamanofhisword (16/1), Scheu Time (22/1), Ballymacaw (25/1), The Dabbler (100/1), Likable Chancer (125/1)

J P McManus looks to hold a strong hand here. ARAMAX is seemingly deserted by Mark Walsh in favour of Roscommon runner-up Konitho but this Fred Winter winner should have plenty of potential as a chaser and is taken to make the most of his 4-y-o allowance. Pakens Rock is useful over hurdles and may prove best of the remainder.
