Forecasts

Misty Hollow (13/8), Queen Jane (3/1), Battle Of Mirbat (10/3), Junior Alliance (10/1), That'll Be The Day (10/1), Mattie's Mountain (11/1)

Verdict

BATTLE OF MIRBAT was an easy winner at Leopardstown earlier this month and he appeals as the type to go on to record a sequence now handicapping. Queen Jane looked a natural when making a successful chase debut last time and is open to improvement now handicapping, whilst it would be no surprise to see That'll Be The Day also progress in handicaps with the benefit of a recent run under his belt.

  1. BATTLE OF MIRBAT (IRE)
  2. QUEEN JANE (IRE)
  3. THAT'LL BE THE DAY (IRE)
