Forecasts

Birchdale (10/3), Clounts Pride (10/3), Archies Charm (4/1), Darver Star (4/1), Irascible (5/1), Pat Coyne (6/1), Arrycan (7/1), Take All (14/1)

CLOUNTS PRIDE rates the pick of the weights on the form of his Limerick success and can follow up with very few miles still on the clock. Archies Charm should find this return to a shorter trip in his favour and is next on the list ahead of Irascible, who can bounce back from his late Fairyhouse fall.
