Forecasts

Alice Johnston (11/10), Bective Cave (9/4), Roachdale House (5/2), Captain Cobajay (6/1), Arch Melody (13/2), Fairymount Boy (7/1), Presenting Hunzy (14/1), The Broom Squire (25/1), Jack Holiday (25/1)

Verdict

Since the fitting of a hood and a tongue-tie ALICE JOHNSON has produced some tidy displays in defeat at Tipperary and Tramore. If continuing on her upward progress then she looks to have a decent chance of a breakthrough success at the seventh time of asking. Bective Cave is a much better hurdler but has ability over fences and can race off a much more favourable mark. He ran a fair race last time at Tramore (though beaten at odds-on). There is a race to be won with him. Roachdale House has been showing a nice consistency over fences of late and given some luck in running, he should go well.
