Forecasts

Papa Barns (15/8), Toon Town (15/8), Midweek Voices (9/2), School Lane (9/2), Mahlers Cove (7/1), Wild As Fire (16/1), Mastermacblack (16/1), Ivar The Boneless (50/1)

Verdict

A thin event in which PAPA BARNS can go one better than on chase debut, having produced a good round of jumping and showed plenty of enthusiasm for the job at Naas last month. Midweek Voices should benefit from the drop back in trip and can make the placings alongside School Lane.

  1. PAPA BARNS (IRE)
