Forecasts

Rochestown (5/2), Mahler Appeal (11/4), Duffys Hodey (7/2), Lilian Bland (15/2), Glorious Singer (10/1), Well Loved (10/1), Greenway Machine (12/1), Made In Muckross (16/1), Carnet De Stage (18/1)

Verdict

MAHLER APPEAL and Rochestown could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter is not passed over lightly on the back of his solid reappearance second here in November, but Mahler Appeal returns to this sphere on the back of a couple of solid efforts in big-field handicap hurdles and he is marginally preferred. Lilian Bland is best of the rest.

  1. MAHLER APPEAL (IRE)
  2. ROCHESTOWN (IRE)
  3. LILIAN BLAND (IRE)
