Forecasts
Blackwater Bridge (5/2), Samanntom (3/1), Fluspar (3/1), De Benno (5/1), Blazing West (6/1)
Samanntom ran well at Leopardstown on Sunday and should get involved in the finish here off the same mark assuming he's none the worse for those exertions. Blazing West is also an interesting handicap debutant and should be monitored for market support. Fluspar did well enough off this mark last time but might just be held by the handicapper for now and so BLACKWATER BRIDGE gets the vote. He was off the pace for a long way at Navan last month before staying on to be a never-nearer third at the line. With a more prominent racing position, he has a good chance off the same mark now.
1. Blackwater Bridge
2. Samanntom
3. Blazing West
