Forecasts

Arctic Ambition (13/8), Townhill Penny (4/1), Navigator Jack (5/1), Twoplustwo Equals (5/1), Midnight Our Fred (11/2), Aide De Camp (13/2), Dorans River (17/2), Cocoplum (17/2), Southerner (16/1), Portland Row (20/1), Champagne Monarch (22/1), Gotthenod (28/1), Complete Fantasy (33/1), Man After Midnight (33/1), Ballinclay Court (50/1), Cullenwaine (50/1), Crimson Chief (80/1)

Verdict

Preference is for ARCTIC AMBITION, who capitalised on a lower hurdles mark under this pilot at Limerick last week and again at Ballinrobe yesterday, and still looks feasibly treated, despite a 14 lb penalty. Townhill Penny and Navigator Jack head the list of dangers.

  1. ARCTIC AMBITION (IRE)
  2. TOWNHILL PENNY (IRE)
  3. NAVIGATOR JACK (IRE)
