Forecasts

Snaffles (8/15), Gaire Os Ard (3/1), Nawraq (8/1), Sir Allen (14/1), The Pargey Bee (33/1), Chattahoochee (50/1), Whynotmyfriend (150/1)

SNAFFLES finished with running left having endured a troubled passage when fifth at Leopardstown on debut 22 days ago and, given how popular he was in the betting that day, there's every reason to expect a chunk of improvement if more goes his way. Gaire Os Ard is the danger on form with the return to this trip sure to suit.
