Forecasts

La Tektor (10/3), Hilltop Supreme (11/2), Hoke Colburn (7/1), Scully's Dream (15/2), Goodnightngodbless (8/1), Chief Of Police (9/1), Sunrise Lady (10/1), Bitview Colin (12/1), Chosen Hour (14/1), Niccolai (14/1), Sir Bob (22/1), Enduring Love (25/1)

Verdict

HOKE COLBURN wasn't seen to best effect at Fairyhouse 10 days ago remains of interest having looked in top form prior to that. La Tektor caught the eye on his comeback at Galway and surely has more to offer in this sphere given his hurdles form, while Hilltop Supreme should be in the mix again off his light weight.

  1. HOKE COLBURN (IRE)
  2. LA TEKTOR (FR)
  3. HILLTOP SUPREME (IRE)
