Forecasts

Just Get Cracking (11/4), Double Scores (7/2), Garrai Phaidin (5/1), Motown Bob (11/2), Stonehall Jack (7/1), The Mooch (8/1), Courtncatcher (20/1), Coldstonesober (25/1), Cliffside Park (25/1)

Verdict

Stonehall Jack could have more to offer having run well off a break at Thurles recently and is respected while Double Scores makes his handicap debut off the back of an easy win in a beginners event at Limerick and is sure to be popular. JUST GET CRACKING ran a fine race in a decent Leopardstown handicap over Christmas and hasn't been spotted since. The booking of Paul Townend is a major plus point and he should have a race of this nature in his locker at a track where he has won before. Motown Bob, also in a handicap for the first time, is one to monitor in the betting given some decent efforts this term while Cliffside Park may appreciate the return to this venue where he has run well before.
