Forecasts

Eco Pete (10/11), Wee Willie Nail (2/1), Desertmore House (8/1), Who's Houdini (9/1), City Limits (25/1), Blackstone Cliff (25/1), Wee Rupert (50/1), Total Glory (50/1), Mollys Dream (100/1), Yolande Court (150/1)

Verdict

ECO PETE won a bumper last summer and having unseated on hurdles debut, he offered alot more when second at this venue last month. Likely to build on that, he looks the way to go, for all Wee Willie Nail probably has a bigger performance in him. City Limits is another to consider.

  1. ECO PETE (IRE)
  2. WEE WILLIE NAIL (IRE)
  3. CITY LIMITS
