Forecasts

Pakens Rock (3/1), Tiger Voice (16/5), Chatham Street Lad (10/3), Brace Yourself (9/2), Triplicate (9/1), Jack Hackett (14/1), Born By The Sea (16/1), La Tektor (20/1), The Big Galloper (100/1), Stormey (100/1)

PAKENS ROCK put his experience to good use to get off the mark over fences over C&D 17 days ago, and with the performance backed by the clock, he looks worth siding with to follow up. Tiger Voice had the race at his mercy before falling 2 out at Punchestown and remains open to improvement, with Brace Yourself and Chatham Street Lad others to be positive about.
