Forecasts

Make The Switch (15/8), Weihnachts (2/1), Magic Sea (4/1), Warlike Intent (6/1), Zalika (13/2), Indian Admiral (9/1), John Mor (9/1), Lopito (12/1), White Desert (14/1), Recommendation (25/1), Double Sixteen (25/1), Cousin Harry (33/1), Three Boyo's (50/1)

Verdict

Plenty with chances here. Weihnachts found only one too strong at Roscommon recently, though what exactly he beat remains to be seen, while Magic Sea would have a chance on his May run at this track. Make The Switch could have a say if taking to the jumping first time, with Lopito also capable of building on a positive start last time. JOHN MOR was second in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Perth last month and is forgiven a lesser effort back there since over fences. A frontrunner, he could be hard to peg back over this shorter trip if getting into a rhythm.
