Forecasts

Hearts And Spades (4/5), Last Round (5/2), Heartbreak Weather (6/1), Squire Ohara (12/1), Asphalt Cowboy (12/1), Dacman (25/1), Jetbob (28/1), Irina's Path (40/1), Hey Sir (66/1), Fr Gilligansvoyge (100/1), Gethegoodtimesroll (150/1), Keenaghan Lass (150/1), Clonsast (200/1)

Verdict

Ian McCarthy won the hunter here on Tuesday and prolific point scorer HEARTS AND SPADES is taken to provide him with a second straight win in this on the back of his promising debut in this sphere at Cork last month. Gordon Elliott's Last Round can bounce back from a lesser run at Naas in February and give the selection most to think about ahead of last year's runner-up Squire Ohara.
