Forecasts

For Pleasure (11/4), Machiavelli (11/4), Remmy D (4/1), Tullyallen (5/1), Well Why Not (10/1), Poetic Light (10/1), Zeb City (25/1), Highway To Heaven (25/1)

Verdict

Last time out distance winner Well Why Not may find the 6lb hike a little harsh following a win at Navan last month, so it may pay to go with proven ground runners Remmy D and Tulleyallen who both hold solid claims over this trip while FOR PLEASURE got going too late at Limerick last time out and can make amends here.
