Forecasts

Abstract (7/2), Derrinlaur (9/2), Der Mc (9/2), Too Bright (5/1), Away To Sea (13/2), Imperial Choice (17/2), Dark Voyager (9/1), Monty's Way (10/1), Magnetic North (10/1), Well Funded (16/1), The Vegas Raider (40/1), Trouble And Strife (66/1)

Verdict

DERRINLAUR was fifth in the 20-runner Navan handicap won by Magnetic North last month, but she enjoys a handy pull at the weights with that rival and this stiffer test could be just what the doctor ordered. This is tougher than the Sligo race in which Der Mc made a winning start for this yard, but he is feared nonetheless and Dark Voyager, representing the Willie Mullins yard, is also of interest on his comeback run in this sphere.
