Forecasts

Donnrua Dream (7/2), Way Down South (9/2), Sophia Rose (5/1), Midnight Moonshine (6/1), Hello Jack (13/2), Duffys Hodey (7/1), Another Ocana (9/1), Knockbrack Rambler (9/1), Shanroe Act (14/1), Syracus Du Houx (16/1), Teescomponentsyess (25/1), Malbas (40/1)

Verdict

WAY DOWN SOUTH did well to overcome a mistake when opening his chase account at Cork in January and he could be capable of scoring again now that he's up and running in this sphere. Shanroe Act is feared most having won his only previous start over fences, ahead of Sophia Rose.

  1. WAY DOWN SOUTH (IRE)
  2. SHANROE ACT (IRE)
  3. SOPHIA ROSE (IRE)
