Forecasts

JPR One (6/5), Mighty Tom (9/4), Petit Tonnerre (9/2), Homme Public (13/2)

Verdict

Having shaped well or better than the result on several occasions in competitive handicap hurdles last season, PETIT TONNERRE is taken to make a winning start over the larger obstacles at the expense of Mighty Tom, who was unlucky to bump into Letsbeclearaboutit on his chasing debut at Cork recently and is entitled to do better over fences. Jpr One gets the verdict over Homme Public for third place.

  1. PETIT TONNERRE (FR)
  2. MIGHTY TOM (IRE)
