Forecasts

Rochestown (4/1), Hard Target (5/1), Twoplustwo Equals (6/1), Chelseas Friend (7/1), Maggie Walsh (7/1), Getaway Abbey (9/1), Fons Vivus (9/1), Stolen Moment (12/1), Red Finch (14/1), Nemean (16/1), Costanuci (20/1), Bella Union (25/1), Silverstrand (25/1), Lucky Ranger (33/1), Hide Out (33/1), My Little Lily (40/1), Emily's Fortune (50/1), The Boys In Blue (66/1), Penthouse Poppet (100/1)

Verdict

HARD TARGET was merely pushed out to score at Clonmel so might be up to defying a rise in the weights. Chelseas Friend made a good return to hurdles when second at Thurles a couple of weeks ago and heads the dangers along with Maggie Walsh and Stolen Moment.

  1. HARD TARGET (IRE)
  2. CHELSEAS FRIEND (IRE)
