Forecasts

Give Battle (11/8), Atlas (6/1), Effernock Lad (7/1), Ard Na Carraig (15/2), Benefit Run (9/1), Mr Moondance (10/1), Railway Muice (12/1), Lleyton (16/1), Rio De Cerisy (25/1), Jazz Ranger (33/1)

Verdict

Although he has been done no favours by the handicapper after running well last time out at Limerick, ARD NA CARRAIG may still be good enough to land this contest which is low on live contenders. Atlas is a consistent type and another who deserves to be winning a race shortly. He will be doing his best work in the closing stages but he is another who has not been well treated. Benefit Run won well at this track recently and maybe open to some more improvement. Give Battle has not rewarded supporters recently but will certainly be in the firing line in the closing stages if running his race.
  1. Ard Na Carraig
  2. Atlas
  3. Give Battle
