Forecasts

Run For Mary (7/4), No Thanks (7/2), Hook Head (13/2), Construct (15/2), Nibblers Charm (15/2), Anyonecanhaveitall (17/2), Jake Peter (16/1), Rich Belief (25/1), Groveman (28/1)

RUN FOR MARY spent last season contesting some much stronger handicaps on the level and could have been found a very good opening on her return, the booking of Colin Keane looking a real statement of intent. Hook Head can go well again, while No Thanks is one to consider on his more recent jumps form.
