Forecasts

Farren Glory (4/6), Ho My Lord (7/4), Faulty (4/1), One Last Tango (12/1), Clonshire River (20/1)

FARREN GLORY should be very hard to beat on the back of his promising opening effort over fences at Wexford. Ho My Lord had some decent form in similar races last season and might be the one to follow him home on his return for new trainer Padraig Roche.
