Forecasts

Ask Susan (5/4), Cabaret Queen (5/1), Gwencily Berbas (8/1), The Big Lense (10/1), Mrs Lovett (12/1), Deans Road (12/1), Father Jed (14/1), Sizing Rome (14/1), Nearly Nama'd (16/1), Killiney Court (16/1), Reach Up (16/1)

Verdict

Nearly Nama'd needs to recover from falling last time out at Killarney but holds every chance if reproducing the form he should at this course in June racing off just a 3lb higher mark however a tentative nod goes to the top weight DEANS ROAD who finished third in the race last season and won two starts ago at Tipperary. Ask Susan had been running well over fences before putting in a season's best run over hurdles last time out, if re-acclimatising to the larger obstacles she should run well. Mrs Lovett is a consistent sort who, if running to the best of her form, is likely to be in the firing line in the closing stages.
  1. Nearly Nama'd
  2. Deans Road
  3. Ask Susan
