Forecasts

Lowtown Charlie (6/4), Jakoby (7/2), Shetland Bus (4/1), Monition (5/1), Lord Schnapps (12/1), All For Nothing (20/1), Caddy Shack (33/1), Last One (33/1), Cushinstown Finest (40/1), Hillview Heidi (50/1), Beginagain (66/1), Ballinacoola Babe (100/1), Sparta Maestro (100/1)

Verdict

A decent maiden hurdle to start the Wexford card. The nod is given to JAKOBY who looks to have a future. Conditions look right for Monition also; the riders claim will prove useful. To fill the places, look out for Lord Schnapps who's jockey booking takes the eye, and the mare Last One. The latter is interesting and will be racing on a featherweight here.
  1. Jakoby
  2. Monition
  3. Last One
