Forecasts

Presenting Percy (2/1), Carrig Cathal (5/1), Shannak (5/1), That's A Wrap (11/2), Sure Reef (8/1), On Impulse (11/1), Ah Littleluck (16/1), Marakoush (25/1), Jeannot De Nonant (25/1), Thebarrowman (25/1), Ballybryan (25/1)

Verdict

PRESENTING PERCY has looked progressive this season and he lost little caste in his fourth-place finish early this month at Punchestown in a tough three-mile handicap. The runner-up defied a 4lb rise to score in good style on Thursday so, off just 1lb more, he's fancied to grab his third win from six outings over hurdles. That's A Wrap should also have solid claims upped in trip having been foiled in his bid for a four-timer in what was a devilishly tough Leopardstown handicap last month over the minimum trip. Shannak merits respect on his New Year's Day win while the trio of Marakoush, Thebarrowman and On Impulse are all to be watched in the market returning from layoffs of varying lengths given that prior form makes them worthy contenders. Sure Reef has enjoyed two runs back from his own layoff and should be competitive with his mark sliding. 1. Presenting Percy 2. That's A Wrap 3. Sure Reef
