16/5

Bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap chase (11/2) at Killarney (23f, soft) 33 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. Should find this more suitable and not taken lightly.

Forecasts

Pepperocco (3/1), Agirlcalledchloe (16/5), Man Of The House (9/2), Room To Roam (13/2), Lighthouse Rose (8/1), Fr Gilligansvoyge (10/1), Out The Gap (10/1), Elegant Dan (14/1), Roscomroe (16/1), Presenting Dylan (28/1)

PEPPEROCCO has been given a chance by the handicapper and returned to form when runner-up at Wexford earlier this month. She gets the nod. Agirlcalledchloe and Out The Gap should also go well.
