Forecasts

American Tom (8/15), Road To Respect (9/2), Stone Hard (6/1), Some Plan (7/1)

Verdict

Impossible to rule out any of this quartet in what should be tasty little race but there was much to like about AMERICAN TOM's recent success back from a year off and with his trainer in outstanding form, he may well score again. Some Plan might have preserved his perfect record over fences but for a fall at Cheltenham while Stone Hard could not have won easier at Limerick over Christmas. Road To Respect has nothing of Min's calibre to face today and should go well. 1. American Tom 2. Stone Hard 3. Some Plan
