Forecasts

Mick The Jiver (3/1), After Aspen (4/1), Riviera Sun (5/1), Winter Magic (13/2), Toushan (8/1), Sumos Novios (10/1), Curragh Na Gold (10/1), Rightville Boy (14/1), Toubaloo (20/1), Bottle Rattler (25/1), Tajweed (50/1)

Verdict

AFTER ASPEN took a positive step with his recent Navan success and there could be more to come after just his fifth chase start. Mick The Jiver is sure to give him plenty to think about based on recent efforts at Thurles. Curragh Na Gold is forgiven a flop over hurdles at Limerick and would have a chance based on his previous effort at this venue while Toushan is also respected back around here. Riviera Sun had been in good heart before his recent fall and will be a threat if none the worse. 1. After Aspen 2. Riviera Sun 3. Mick The Jiver
