Forecasts

Swingbridge (10/3), Heather Moth (5/1), Danse Away (11/2), Wood Emery (13/2), Benarty Hill (7/1), Paper Lantern (7/1), Georges Conn (14/1), Rare Legend (16/1), Undressed (20/1), Lisclogher Lad (20/1), Maureen's Star (33/1), Take A Chance On R (50/1)

Verdict

Lisclogher Lad and Danse Away could cut out the early running here with Rare Legend and Wood Emery not far behind the leading pair. SWINGBRIDGE could well take advantage of the early leaders to make late headway under Davy Russell for trainer Gordon Elliott. Benarty Hill is still a 17 race maiden over hurdles but clearly in good heart currently following a number of solid displays over the larger obstacles recently and can hit the frame with Georges Conn.
  1. Swingbridge
  2. Benarty Hill
  3. Georges Conn
