Forecasts

Lieber Nicc (7/2), Balko D'ange (6/1), Wendrock (6/1), Ragmans Corner (8/1), Serienmond (8/1), Messerschmitt (8/1), Arch Empire (9/1), Wholelotofbusiness (11/1), Spy (12/1), Sequoiaspirit (14/1), Shanroe (28/1), Fast Felix (28/1)

Verdict

SEQUOIASPIRIT remains with just one hurdles win on his record, but he has several good efforts to his name and is worth treating as if still in top form having been left poorly placed at Listowel on his most recent outing. Ragmans Corner and Lieber Nicc head up the opposition.

  1. SEQUOIASPIRIT (IRE)
  2. RAGMANS CORNER (IRE)
  3. LIEBER NICC (IRE)
