Forecasts

On The Sod (6/5), Timewaitsfornoone (3/1), Big Leg Up (7/2), Sliabh Mhuire Lass (4/1), Michael's Pick (10/1), Ballyearl (16/1), Getzie (33/1), Quill Road (33/1)

Verdict

ON THE SOD was below form in the Champion Hunters Chase at Punchestown last month, yet he had previously looked a big player prior to falling in a hunters event at Fairyhouse and may well be worth chancing to get back on the up returned to calmer waters. Michael's Pick is in good order and feared, ahead of Big Leg Up and Timewaitsfornoone.

  1. ON THE SOD (IRE)
  2. MICHAEL'S PICK (IRE)
  3. BIG LEG UP (IRE)
