Forecasts

Yeah Man (7/2), Son Of Anarchy (4/1), Intent Approach (9/2), Timeless Treaty (11/2), Jordans (13/2), Small Town Hero (7/1), Millstream Lady (15/2), Eclipse Chaser (12/1), Cameletta Vega (16/1), Sysko (18/1), Colonia Victoria (20/1), Savante (22/1), Duke Silver (25/1), Rue Taylor (25/1), Promontory (28/1), Desertmore House (28/1), Must Go Now (33/1), Heliko Conti (40/1), Olympic Man (40/1), Daily Present (50/1)

Verdict

Preference is for SON OF ANARCHY, who made a winning handicap debut in good style at Punchestown last time and could have more still to offer back up in distance. He is taken to see off the challenge of Yeah Man, who has a much lower mark to contend with reverted to hurdling, while Eclipse Chaser and Desertmore House could also be in the mix.

  1. SON OF ANARCHY (IRE)
  2. YEAH MAN (IRE)
  3. ECLIPSE CHASER (IRE)
