Forecasts

Battling Spirit (2/1), Tongie (10/3), Lisclogher Lad (9/2), Winter Magic (8/1), Naturally Blond (9/1), Gentleman Duke (12/1), Runyon Rattler (14/1), Stonehall Jack (20/1), Sanibel Island (40/1)

Verdict

The booking of jockey Jamie Codd looked inspirational for a while as BATTLING SPIRIT just failed to out-point future winner Snugsborough Hall in a Clonmel beginners contest last month. The 12-year-old can get his head in front this time at the expense of the Paul Townend-ridden Tongie, the reliable J P McManus-owned Gentleman Duke and second over 2m2f here in November 2017, Naturally Blonde.
