Forecasts

Lagostovegas (7/4), Timiyan (9/2), After Rain (9/2), Top Othe Ra (7/1), Golden Spear (7/1), Lion In His Heart (8/1), Plinth (14/1)

Verdict

A fascinating renewal, with J P and Gigginstown representatives scattered among some solid and consistent types. Lion In His Heart could make the running here, setting the race up for a tight finish between Lagostovegas, fine third of 20, beaten just over 2L in the Grade B Galway handicap hurdle at the festival, and, TOP OTHE RA, first of 12 in the Guinness handicap hurdle at the Galway festival and is in fine form at the moment, sitting nicely at the bottom of the weights.
  1. Top Othe Ra
  2. Lagostovegas
  3. Plinth
