Forecasts

Seangoell (13/8), Bay Ambition (5/2), Good As Hell (15/2), Rebel Early (8/1), Lizrona (17/2), Sweet Street (17/2), Killisk Ben Rose (22/1)

Verdict

BAY AMBITION has a much more solid profile than the rest of these and can gain an overdue first chase success. Lizrona will be a danger if bouncing back to the form she showed when successful over fences at Thurles just before Christmas, while Seangoell should find this a good bit easier than the Limerick Grade 3 she contested last time.
