Forecasts

A Snow White Park (9/2), Pourquoi Poi (9/2), Watch The Weather (9/2), Intense Approach (11/2), Tullyveery Lad (7/1), Nastya (9/1), That's About Right (10/1), General Clermont (12/1), Marv Michael (12/1), Orkneys Jack (25/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken on A SNOW WHITE PARK, who ran well at this course earlier in the season and should be suited by the step back up in trip. Pourquoi Poi is still relatively unexposed after just a couple of runs in this sphere and rates the main danger, while Intense Approach is well treated if able to keep any jumping mistakes to a minimum.

  1. A SNOW WHITE PARK (IRE)
  2. POURQUOI POI (IRE)
  3. INTENSE APPROACH
