Forecasts

Golden Sandbanks (10/3), Clonbury Bridge (4/1), Top Line Tommy (5/1), Berliet Express (6/1), Irish Blaze (13/2), Attitash (9/1), Flaming Moon (10/1), Play The Game (16/1), Samurai Cracker (20/1)

Verdict

TOP LINE TOMMY jumped a lot better at Wexford last time and could be the way to go ahead of Irish Blaze and Golden Sandbanks.
