Forecasts

All Those Years (9/2), Marvel Fan (9/2), Johngus (9/2), Minx Tiara (5/1), Francois (6/1), Halsafari (8/1), Take All (9/1), Golf Marin (10/1), R'evelyn Pleasure (11/1), Faith Du Val (12/1), Brandy Harbour (14/1)

ALL THOSE YEARS has low mileage for a horse of his age and he took well to fences when making a winning chase debut in a Limerick maiden last month. With improvement likely now pitched into a handicap in this sphere, he looks the way to go. Johngus got the job done at the twelfth attempt over fences at Clonmel but he comes with risks given his error-prone jumping and bigger threats may be posed by Take All and Minx Tiara.
