Forecasts

Brown Boots (7/4), Let's Go Mans (3/1), Comeonarchie (8/1), Johnny Cakes (8/1), Brandt (10/1), Warmer Days Ahead (12/1), Marine Ranger (14/1), Mickey Hulie (16/1), Duffys Getaway (20/1), Moorish Castle (20/1), Young And Foolish (25/1), Patsy's Pride (50/1)

BROWN BOOTS followed up with plenty to spare back in this sphere at Clonmel last week so has obvious claims going for the hat-trick under a penalty. Let's Go Mans is capable of better sent handicapping over a markedly longer trip, with Comeonarchie best of the others.
