Forecasts

Peregrine Run (1/1), Doctor Duffy (9/2), Chatham Street Lad (6/1), Woodland Opera (6/1), Rashaan (7/1), Tombstone (7/1), Dr Mikey (15/2), Great Trango (20/1), Lachlan Bridge (20/1)

Verdict

RASHAAN showed his class earlier this year to land a Grade 2 contest at Leopardstown. On the basis of that form alone, he is the standout selection here and should have a great chance of returning to winning ways. Peregrine Run can't stop winning over fences so it will be interesting to see if he can transfer his form to hurdles where on the face of it, he has a great chance off this mark, while Woodland Opera has to be respected over hurdles given his impressive strike-rate.
  1. Rashaan

  3. Woodland Opera
