Forecasts

Todd (9/4), Mizen Master (3/1), Lazarus (4/1), Too Much Too Soon (5/1), Stonecoldsoba (7/1), Frozon (14/1), Mullaghboy (20/1), Argante (20/1)

TOO MUCH TOO SOON looks capable of taking the opening selling handicap. The selection has been running well over fences in recent starts and he can get the better of Mizen Master who has had wind surgery since his most recent start. Lazarus was a winner last time out and can finish third off his revised mark.
