Forecasts

Kayf Hernando (9/4), How's The Cricket (9/2), Mahon Point (9/2), Seigneur Des As (8/1), Kakamora (9/1), Love Actually (11/1), Fawsley Spirit (12/1), Pinnacle Peak (22/1), Whydah Gally (25/1), Mister Sweets (33/1), Restandbethankful (40/1)

Verdict

MAHON POINT has won a bumper/over hurdles in his short Rules career and his pointing background dictates that he should do even better in this sphere, so a chance is taken on him. Kayf Hernando left the form of his chasing debut behind when scoring readily over C&D last time, so he's a big player, while Fawsley Spirit should be on the premises again.

  1. MAHON POINT
  2. KAYF HERNANDO
  3. FAWSLEY SPIRIT (IRE)
