Forecasts

Earl Of Desmond (7/4), Its On The Line (4/1), Clonmeen (9/2), Imperial Tune (9/2), Beyond Redemption (9/2), I Often Wonder (15/2), Plain Or Battered (12/1), Rolling Clouds (14/1), Rocknroll Stand (20/1), Kos (80/1)

Verdict

The Emmet Mullins-trained ITS ON THE LINE caught the eye when keeping on for fourth in a decent race on his hunter debut and should be hard to beat. Earl of Desmond and Clonmeen arrive on the back of recent point successes and may give the selection most to do.

  1. ITS ON THE LINE (IRE)
  2. EARL OF DESMOND
  3. CLONMEEN (IRE)
