Forecasts

Lake Chad (7/4), Harvey's Quay (4/1), Cullenwaine (4/1), A Nod To Getaway (11/2), Kilashee (11/2), Man Of The House (6/1), Lucky Policy (7/1), King Ferdinand (15/2), Cahirdown Boy (12/1), Coole Arcade (18/1), Icee M B A (40/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for a few of these but Paul Flynn's LUCKY POLICY is able to race off the same mark as when a very good recent Wexford second so earns the vote. Lake Chad took his form up a notch when going in at Tramore and is next on the list with in-form trio Cahirdown Boy, Harvey's Quay and King Ferdinand also in the picture.
