Forecasts

Irish Chief (15/8), Offiah (2/1), Witham River (85/40), Tazaral (9/4), Bamboo Bay (6/1), Parish Delight (25/1), Rustler (80/1), Television (80/1), Sawbuck (100/1), Rockfield Westie (150/1), Wilmer Mcclean (150/1)

IRISH CHIEF failed to justify short odds at Listowel last week but this longer trip is sure to show him to much better effect and he is taken to open his account. Witham River should build on his Dundalk debut fourth so rates the chief threat, with Tazaral another expected to step forward and in the mix for place purposes too.
