Forecasts

Franciscan Rock (3/1), Martha Divine (10/3), West Breeze (4/1), Sainte Dona (6/1), Waittillitellyou (15/2), Run For Pat (12/1), Street Value (16/1), Eurobot (16/1), Wild Hunt (22/1), Robyndeglory (28/1), Wowsham (33/1), Ciao Bella (33/1), Robinstown (40/1)

Verdict

A few with chances but WEST BREEZE showed himself to be better than ever when going in at Clonmel last time and can make light of an 8 lb rise in the weights here. Run For Pat is next on the list on the back of his Fairyhouse success, with his old rival Waittillitellyou another weighted to have a say in an open handicap.

  1. WEST BREEZE (IRE)
  2. RUN FOR PAT (IRE)
  3. WAITTILLITELLYOU (IRE)
