Forecasts

Go On Chez (6/4), Ruthless Article (4/1), Peaches And Cream (9/2), El Paso Wood (6/1), Little Bruce (12/1), Ask Cory (14/1), Irish Prophecy (14/1), Cheltenam De Vaige (22/1)

A good race, with the improving GO ON CHEZ taken to extend his winning run to 6. Peaches And Cream produced a career best in a competitive Punchestown event last time and seems sure to go well again, whilst recent Summer Cup second Ruthless Article can figure once more.
