Forecasts

Hold Your Fort (4/5), William Ewart (13/2), Doctor Foley (15/2), Honey I'm Good (11/1), Friends Don't Ask (12/1), School For Scandal (14/1), Enforcement (20/1), Noah's Light (22/1), Radharc Na Slaine (40/1), Tara Line (100/1)

Verdict

HOLD YOUR FORT had lots to spare here last week and, officially 9 lb well-in under a 7 lb penalty, will surely go in again if in anything like the same form. Friends Don't Ask offered a bit more from his falling mark last time and might be the one for the forecast spot ahead of Fontwell-winner Doctor Foley.

  1. HOLD YOUR FORT (IRE)
  2. FRIENDS DON'T ASK
  3. DOCTOR FOLEY (IRE)
