Forecasts

Germany John (10/3), Jennys Grey (4/1), Avec Espoir (9/2), Hussle Up (7/1), Lagenod (10/1), Lord Boru (10/1), Whereyounow (14/1), Duhallow Paddy (14/1), Hughies Bay (16/1), Whats In It For Me (16/1), General Gold (18/1), Hitchcock (28/1), Lily Trotter (33/1), Humps And Bumps (50/1), Qery (100/1)

Verdict

Lagenod went close to breaking his duck at Thurles over a slightly longer journey and should pose a threat with a repeat of that effort but preference is for LORD BORU. Having missed three years, he ran a stormer at Tramore in December on his return when second. He has twice more made the frame since and, given a short break since January, looks well worth another crack at this distance from an unchanged mark. Jennys Grey consistently runs her races and Paul Townend's mount should so again, but the handicapper still retains an authority over her seemingly. Whereyounow improved over C&D in December and can be given a second look in the betting on first run since.
  1. Lord Boru
  2. Lagenod
  3. Jennys Grey
