Forecasts

The Road Is Long (1/1), Talgo Abbess (7/2), Shocker (8/1), Heishybrid (9/1), Political Power (12/1), Dance For Chester (12/1), Shoof Phoenix (12/1), Midnight Stagger (28/1), Dibayliss (33/1), Ainm Bentley (80/1)

THE ROAD IS LONG offered something work on under a considerate ride at Fairyhouse on his debut 3 weeks ago and, with the step up in trip promising to suit, he's fancied to get off the mark at the second time of asking. Shocker and Political Power both have strong claims if returning to their earlier form.
