Forecasts

Killaloan (11/10), Western General (5/2), Book of Secrets (7/2), Filanderer (13/2), Mack The Man (9/1), Light Em Up Nigel (12/1), Coolnaugh Haze (14/1), On The Wild Side (18/1), Just Another One (20/1), Tying The Knot (20/1), Forrard Away (22/1)

Verdict

KILLALOAN was an easy winner over C&D 3 weeks ago and could have more to come now handicapping so looks the way to go. Mack The Man lurks on a very tempting mark now fitted with headgear and is interesting. Filanderer and Book of Secrets are a couple of others to note.

  1. KILLALOAN (IRE)
  2. MACK THE MAN (IRE)
  3. FILANDERER
