Forecasts

One Big Boum (10/3), Give Him A Chance (10/3), Tir Og (9/2), Dont Go Yet (5/1), Must Meet Cecil (13/2), Jabbar (8/1), Becasse (11/1), Digby (25/1)

Verdict

GIVE HIM A CHANCE wasted no time getting back to form when winning a 16-runner handicap at Naas last month and remains of interest up 6 lb. One Big Boum made it 2 from 2 in this headgear in convincing fashion at Fairyhouse and is the obvious threat, though Becasse is one to watch in the betting starting out for a powerful yard.

  1. GIVE HIM A CHANCE (IRE)
  2. ONE BIG BOUM (IRE)
  3. BECASSE (IRE)
