Forecasts

CLONDAW HOLLOW faced a stiff task on his chase bow at Fairyhouse but showed enough to make him a big player in this. Magheralin Mick offered something to work on when fourth on his chase bow/return at Clonmel 2 weeks ago and is a potential threat, while Slane Hill and Bodhisattva can go well if taking to this sphere at the first attempt.
