Forecasts

Red Hugh (11/10), Net Boy (3/1), Eastbank Warrior (10/3), Blaze The Way (5/1), Machismo (5/1), Barton Snow (12/1), Lynchy Boy (16/1), Dairy Force (25/1), Nelson Eddie (50/1), Brooklyn Bridge (100/1), Dream Shaper (150/1)

Verdict

A thin bumper that could be fought out by newcomers NET BOY and Red Hugh, with Barry Connell's charge chanced before market clues. Machismo wasn't seen to best effect at Limerick and could do better in this bigger field.

  1. NET BOY (FR)
  2. RED HUGH (IRE)
  3. MACHISMO (IRE)
