Forecasts

Timeless Treaty (6/1), The Nagger Reidy (13/2), Grimaud (7/1), Zanoosh (15/2), Sa Fureur (8/1), I A Connect (8/1), Killaney King (8/1), Balko D'ange (8/1), Hgranca De Thaix (9/1), Son Of Anarchy (9/1), Catch The Beast (14/1), Fad Eadrainn (33/1), Cafe Con Leche (50/1)

Verdict

There should be more to come from Punchestown handicap debut scorer SON OF ANARCHY and he can provide Gordon Elliott with a second successive win in this race. Hgranca de Thaix can turn around Leopardstown Christmas form with The Nagger Reidy and provide the chief threat. Zanoosh and Balko d'Ange are others to consider in this useful handicap.

  1. SON OF ANARCHY (IRE)
  2. HGRANCA DE THAIX (FR)
  3. THE NAGGER REIDY
