Forecasts

Maxi Mac Gold (1/1), Find A Fortune (3/1), Toor Khov (7/2), Now So Jake (9/2), Walk Away Harry (6/1), Georgian Quarter (12/1), Manatee Du Brizais (20/1), Graigue Corner (25/1), Leinster King (25/1), La Vega Moon (40/1), Lummi Island (50/1), Foxy Rock (50/1), Diamond Duke (80/1), Island Mccoo (80/1), Shanghai Rooster (100/1), Just Jack (125/1)

Verdict

WALK AWAY HARRY was heavily supported to land a Punchestown handicap after some eye-catching efforts and, while he disappointed in the event, he should be able to make amends back in calmer waters. Maxi Mac Gold and Find A Fortune are closely matched with the selection in terms of what's been achieved but neither have the same potential.

  1. WALK AWAY HARRY (IRE)
  2. MAXI MAC GOLD (FR)
  3. FIND A FORTUNE (IRE)
