Forecasts

Three In A Row (7/4), Big Island (4/1), Island Mccoo (9/2), Presenting Max (7/1), Elusive Guy (15/2), Garde La Peche (9/1), Aliunde (9/1), Natural Breeze (11/1), Rock On Pedro (12/1), Freddie Robdal (16/1), The Dawn (16/1), Cayd Boy (18/1), Just Three (22/1), Eddies Pride (40/1)

Having left his previous chase form well behind when going close at Limerick, BIG ISLAND could be the answer. Presenting Max is open to improvement on his handicap debut in this sphere and he is feared most ahead of Three In A Row and Natural Breeze.
