Forecasts

Whats In It For Me (7/2), Shanklys Dawn (9/2), Killare Castle (5/1), Benarty Hill (7/1), Highest Benefit (7/1), Buzzkillbob (8/1), Town Pond (9/1), Gibbstown (10/1), Cerca Trova (12/1)

The concluding handicap chase doesn't look the strongest of contests and can go the way of BUZZKILLBOB who can put a disappointing effort last time out behind him by taking this. The selection has had fewer chances than most over fences and can register his first rules victory today with last months C&D second Shanklys Dawn capable of finishing best of the rest. Killare Castle ran well here last time out and can finish third on this occasion.
