Forecasts

Run For Pat (7/4), Magheralin Mick (9/4), Construct (3/1), Priory Park (4/1), Sphagnum (7/1), Some Dove (7/1), Any Luck Colm (80/1)

Verdict

A trappy beginners' chase with the narrow vote in favour of RUN FOR PAT. He was a fairly useful performer at his best over hurdles, and there appears no reason why he won't prove equally as effective over fences, so he shades the vote for his powerful stable. Sphagnum and Some Dove may emerge as the chief threats, whilst the market may prove useful in assessing Construct on his chasing bow.

  1. RUN FOR PAT (IRE)
  2. SPHAGNUM (IRE)
  3. SOME DOVE (IRE)
