Forecasts

Kuraka (13/8), Room To Roam (10/3), Conron (4/1), Uncle Henry (6/1), Amschel (8/1), Chin'up (25/1), Saga Altais (50/1), Annie Iraya (100/1)

Verdict

Plenty in with chances in an open event. Uncle Henry is an interesting recruit off the AW having been low-mileage there and need paying attention for respected young handler. ROOM TO ROAM met some above-average sorts in his winter/spring campaign over timber and, with the prospect of decent ground improving his lot, he could well be up to taking this. Clonmel winner Amschel along with Conron and Kuraka can all be given some claims to getting in the scrap for honours.
