Forecasts

My Friend The Wind (3/1), Takarengo (10/3), Hascoeur Clermont (18/5), Captain Jimmy (5/1), Da Big Fella (7/1), Teescomponentsyess (10/1), Chosen Diamond (10/1), Eddies Pride (12/1), Indian Admiral (33/1), Four Country Roads (50/1)

TAKARENGO has been handed a lenient-looking chase mark and a good round of jumping can see him take advantage this time. Hascoeur Clermont was in the process of running well when unseating at Punchestown and is next best ahead of My Friend The Wind.
