Forecasts

Spider Web (7/2), Blast Of Koeman (4/1), Drumconnor Lad (4/1), General Principle (5/1), Uncle Danny (7/1), Teacher's Pet (10/1), Jetstream Jack (14/1), Killaro Boy (25/1), Kylecrue (25/1), The Mooch (33/1)

Verdict

TEACHER'S PET can spring a surprise in what looks an open handicap chase. The selection was in the process of running a good race when falling at Thurles on her penultimate outing and she can be forgiven a poor run over a trip that stretches her stamina subsequently. General Principle represents a leading stable and comes here on the back of a good effort over C&D last time while Killaro Boy can finish third on his return to chasing.
