Forecasts

Hightimeyouwon (11/4), Bucaneer's Spirit (11/4), Dark Viper (7/2), Eddie G (9/2), Ribchestina (8/1), Nedita (12/1)

Verdict

BUCANEER'S SPIRIT was going as well as any when repeatedly stopped in his run at Roscommon last week and is given a chance to build on that promise. Eddie G looks set for another productive season after his fine reappearance effort in that same Roscommon contest and is second choice ahead of Hightimeyouwon.

  1. Bucaneer's Spirit11/4
  2. Eddie G9/2
  3. Hightimeyouwon11/4
