Forecasts
Braeside (11/8), Frere Fontaine (3/1), Bay Ambition (4/1), Zenon (6/1), Bua Boy (10/1), Castello Sforza (25/1), Sonny B (33/1)
BRAESIDE holds a few Cheltenham entries and if hoping to take his chance should be strong enough here based on the form he has shown in his last two outings. He followed up a win at Fairyhouse with a better performance when finishing sixth of 28 at Leopardstown last time out. He remains on the same mark and will relish the testing conditions. Bay Ambition has been knocking on the door of late and certainly deserves a win. He may still be on the upgrade and may give the selection most to do. Zenon has been frustrating since running a cracker on his debut behind Envoi Allen. He has talent and perhaps he will be capable of showing it on his handicap debut.
