Forecasts

Peacocks Secret (3/1), Oscar Lantern (4/1), Well Tom (4/1), Dundrum Lad (5/1), Take The Cash (5/1), Market's Field (11/2), I'm An Izz Wizz (7/1)

Verdict

It is a bit of a head scratcher as to why exactly MARKET'S FIELD hasn't raced over fences since his win in 2017 but that aside Enda Bolger's charge makes plenty of appeal back over the larger obstacles especially on the back of such an encouraging hurdles run lately. Peacocks Secret's hat-trick bid ended with a fall last time out but if over that he brings very strong claims to the table. Well Tom is capable but jumping is often his Achilles heel.
