Forecasts

Artic Pearl (5/4), Black Zero (4/1), Angus Milan (7/1), Bilbo Bagins (8/1), Asitsohappens (12/1), On The Shannon (12/1), Concordin (12/1), Attalco (14/1)

Verdict

Moses McCabe's tough veteran Asitsohappens likes to get on with things from the front and could possibly set the fractions with On The Shannon, Attalco and Angus Milan in behind. The Martin Brassil-trained ARTIC PEARL came off an even pace last time out to challenge into the straight before winning when all out in a Limerick beginners chase recently and is capable of a repeat on handicap debut.
  1. Artic Pearl
  2. Angus Milan
  3. Asitsohappens
