Forecasts

Life In The Park (10/11), Mahler Mission (15/8), Ash Tree Meadow (2/1), Chemical Energy (4/1), Art Approval (14/1)

Verdict

There was much to like about the way LIFE IN THE PARK took to fences when making a winning start in this sphere at Listowel and he may well go on to take high rank among the staying novice chasers this season. With Ash Tree Meadow due to run here on Friday, his participation has to be in doubt and, with stamina concerns surrounding his stablemate Chemical Energy, Mahler Mission, a useful novice hurdler last season, is likely to emerge as the main danger.

  3. CHEMICAL ENERGY (IRE)
