Forecasts

Gwan Tadhg (15/8), Up And Out (5/1), Tea It Is (5/1), Attitash (7/1), Happaugue (17/2), Shining Aitch (9/1), Red Striker (14/1), Fireworks (22/1), Ambitious Approach (25/1), Howsthewoman (33/1), Cracklinrose (40/1), Yewood (40/1), Chemdawg (50/1), Robin Elite (80/1), Treyarnon Bay (100/1)

Verdict

RED STRIKER reacted well to blinkers when third at Kilbeggan last time and might be the answer to this tricky handicap if the headgear works again. Up And Out is an obvious danger for the Elliott team on the back of his Sligo second. Ambitious Approach should be more than capable from this opening hurdle mark judged on his Flat ability and is another to consider.

  1. Red Striker14/1
  2. Up And Out5/1
  3. Ambitious Approach25/1
