Forecasts

Licklighter (10/3), Falak (7/2), Muroor (11/2), Viscount Wilson (8/1), Castlehume (8/1), City Limits (10/1), Solar Heat (11/1), My Manekineko (12/1), Betterask Jj (14/1), Winston Wolfe (14/1), Comehere Hi (14/1), Whatever It Takes (16/1), Arizengo (25/1), Lough Sewdy (33/1), Havelock (66/1)

Verdict

FALAK is yet to score this year, however, the handicapper has given him a real chance of success again with this latest mark. His jumping has let him down recently, however, he should be able to bounce back here and record his second win over hurdles. Licklighter was not far away last time Clonmel and he can't be ruled out as he looks for his first hurdles success, while My Manekineko can finish in the frame off this latest mark on his return to hurdles.
  1. Falak
  2. Licklighter
  3. My Manekineko
