Forecasts

Nakadam (4/1), Ballyben (9/2), Scotswell (5/1), Harry The Viking (7/1), Double Whammy (17/2), Carrigdhoun (9/1), Green Flag (10/1), Spanish Fleet (10/1), Oscar O'scar (11/1)

Verdict

A little more quality on the card here with several that will fancy their chance of taking this with last year’s winner Nakadam being one of those with a leading chance despite the suspicion that he may well be better over a little shorter. Carrigdhoun was a fortunate winner last time out and faces a stiff test off this mark and for that reason DOUBLE WHAMMY is preferred. This looks very much his time of year and he’s been working his way back to form. This test looks on the short side for Harry The Viking and Ballyben would be given the nod over him with the evergreen Scotswell sure to give things a good go off the front.
  1. Double Whammy
  2. Nakadam
  3. Ballyben
