Forecasts

Pride Of Place (5/1), Walk In Time (5/1), It's Never Simple (11/2), Garde La Peche (7/1), Dundaniel (15/2), Fairyhill Run (8/1), Inchidaly Copper (8/1), General Hubble (10/1), Solo Flight (14/1), Dawn Escape (16/1), Friends N Commerce (28/1), Lake Chad (40/1), Robin De Roost (40/1)

DUNDANIEL rates the pick of these weights so is taken to build on a good recent Listowel fifth and end a losing run. General Hubble is feared most on the back of a solid fifth in a big-field Punchestown handicap ahead of Garde La Peche and Friends N Commerce.
