Forecasts

Cliff House (5/2), Thecraicisninety (7/2), Effernock Lad (11/2), Light That (6/1), Rocky Court (9/1), Feeling The Love (11/1), Velocity Boy (14/1), Reach Up (14/1), Global Jackpot (16/1), The King Of Brega (16/1), Presenting Mahler (16/1), Carrig Cathal (33/1)

Verdict

The Jessica Harrington-trained, LIGHT THAT can land the spoils here on return to action over fences following a win in a Punchestown novice chase in May. The seven-year-old has been beaten over hurdles since but can get the better of the likes of C&D winner Thecraicisninety and the solid and consistent, Cliff House in a competitive handicap. Bottom weight, Effernock Lad should not be taken lightly.
  1. Light That
  2. Thecraicisninety
  3. Cliff House
