Forecasts

Ask Anything (15/8), Jumping Jet (7/2), Joshua Webb (8/1), Macdermott (17/2), De Lady In Red (9/1), The Gradual Slope (9/1), Atacanter (14/1), Marronstown (16/1), Carrig Rock (16/1), Soldaro (22/1), Dontlettheoldmanin (33/1), Justicialism (66/1), One Of Us Is Lying (200/1)

Verdict

ASK ANYTHING shaped well considering the drop back in trip was very much against him when second on chase bow at Clonmel 3 weeks ago and can go one better over this longer distance. Jumping Jet should come on for his chase debut and is next best ahead of Joshua Webb.

  1. ASK ANYTHING (IRE)
  2. JUMPING JET (IRE)
