Forecasts

Mr King (7/2), Eastern Legend (4/1), Take Heart (9/2), Angelic Appeal (6/1), Duke Of Leggagh (7/1), Slieve Binnian (8/1), Roaring Gallagher (10/1), Pearl Of Australia (14/1), Savigny (14/1)

TAKE HEART could have plenty more to offer now handicapping and can pick up where he left off in March with another victory. Roscommon-winner Mr King and Eastern Legend are feared.
