Forecasts

A Toi Phil (6/5), The Tullow Tank (13/8), Nearly Nama'd (13/2), Mozoltov (8/1), Double Seven (20/1)

Verdict

A couple of these are under clouds, namely The Tullow Tank and Double Seven. The latter has looked well below his best in two outings over hurdles when last seen and is now back chasing after a year off. The Tullow Tank would be formidable in this field at his best but two runs last year raised big questions on how much of the old ability remains. Nearly Nama'd took care of Mozoltov in a valuable handicap at Fairyhouse in January but could struggle to repeat the trick on these terms. However, A TOI PHIL may come out best. He powered home to snare a big pot at Leopardstown in January and ought to be more at home now removed from the choppy waters of Grade 1 company. The youngest in the line-up, he may still be improving and can take this prize.
  1. A Toi Phil
  2. Mozoltov
  3. Nearly Nama'd
