Forecasts

Son Of Mahler (11/4), Battle Of Benburb (7/2), Lily Light Foot (5/1), Marshalled (6/1), Lake Chad (7/1), Top Basanta (15/2), Dont Doubt Me (14/1), Hillary John (16/1), Doune Castle (22/1), Katlaur (25/1), Perfect Arch (25/1), Mooney Boy (25/1), Building Bridges (28/1), Collaborating (28/1), Think Positive (33/1), Embole (50/1)

17:50 Downpatrick - 6 May 2022 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Lots with chances but BATTLE OF BENBURB is worth siding with off a falling mark having caught the eye under considerate handling when sevenht at Kilbeggan. In-form Lake Chad is feared most back hurdling, with Dont Doubt Me not ruled out either now going into handicaps.
