Forecasts

Wing Back (7/4), Parkgarve (9/2), Ar Nos Na Gaoithe (6/1), Freddie Robdal (13/2), Centaq (8/1), Pahlavi (8/1), Georginas Jet (11/1), Annarubyrose (25/1), Guest Star (28/1), Mrs Wemyss (125/1)

The vote goes to PARKGARVE, who travelled well for a long way prior to running out of petrol upped to 3m on his handicap debut at Roscommon last month. He didn't get very far at Ballinrobe next time, but his jumping has otherwise been adequate and he remains capable of better. Freddie Robdal and Ar Nos Na Gaoithe are feared most in that order of preference, while Centaq is also shortlisted.
