Forecasts

Old Supporter (10/3), Kilna Shane (5/1), Robin De Roost (11/2), Shake The Bucket (11/2), Roevin Star (6/1), Free Of Charge (13/2), Crosshue Boy (8/1), Sea's Aria (8/1), Burning Issues (9/1), Patsio (12/1), Charlotte's Chum (12/1), Heaney (14/1), Eiri Na Casca (16/1), Jack The Hat (25/1), Give Me A Break (25/1), Ballyfinboy (33/1), Deano (33/1)

Verdict

First reserve Old Supporter would have reasonable claims granted a run and this would result in a reshuffle of the market. However, whilst respecting the claims of Sea's Aria and Shake The Bucket, the pair to concentrate upon are the recent winners Robin De Roost and ROEVIN STAR. Clear preference is for the 3m1f course winner who should get away with the drop back in trip. He should prove stronger than the Thomas Gibney trained Punchestown winner whose form has admittedly been handsomely franked by Eight Till Late since.
  1. Roevin Star
  2. Robin De Roost
  3. Shake The Bucket
