Forecasts

Ya Boy Ya (11/4), Basil's Boy (7/2), Lighthouse Rose (7/2), Soldiers Hill (4/1), Golden Nomad (11/2), Chasing Abbey (15/2), So Near So Farhh (14/1), It Takes Time (16/1), Amaulino (18/1), Heist (25/1), Happy Lad (25/1), Pat's Pearl (25/1), Trans Wood (40/1), The Kings Baby (40/1), King's Song (66/1)

Verdict

YA BOY YA had a bit in hand when getting off the mark over hurdles at Tramore 15 days ago and can make a successful switch to handicap company for the Colin Bowe team. The step back up in trip will suit Chasing Abbey and he heads the dangers along with Basil's Boy and Gordon Elliott's Golden Nomad.

  1. YA BOY YA (IRE)
  2. CHASING ABBEY (IRE)
  3. BASIL'S BOY (IRE)
