Forecasts

A Nod To Getaway (5/2), Gaelic Des Chastys (11/4), Woodie Wango (7/2), Zolpharine (9/2), Carlas Big Jim (9/1), Definiteadare (14/1), Amyr (28/1)

Having shaped well on his third start over fences recenttly at Roscommon, WOODIE WANGO could be the answer to this trappy-looking contest. Gaelic Des Chastys was runner-up in a handicap chase on the same Roscommon card 16 days ago and he is feared most ahead of Zolpharine.
