Forecasts

Tut Tut (2/1), Luxembourg (5/2), Mannix (11/4), Tuwaiq (10/3), Pinar Del Rio (7/2), Snapius (15/2), Play By The Rules (25/1), The Vik (66/1), Easky Maid (400/1)

A hot race that can go to TUT TUT, who made a really encouraging start at Fairyhouse 7 weeks ago and looks sure to improve over this longer trip. Mannix caught the eye behind the subsequent Chesham winner on debut at the Curragh and will progress. Tuwaiq landed a gamble on debut at Bellewstown and seems sure to have more to offer.
