Forecasts
The Famous Five (5/4), Duhallow Tommy (9/4), Rath Gaul Hill (9/2), Ballybreeze (10/1), Mount Tempest (12/1)
THE FAMOUS FIVE remains just 2 lb above the mark off which he landed a C&D handicap over Christmas and the 7-y-o is taken to resume winning ways on the back of a creditable second at Chepstow last time. Duhallow Tommy has resumed with a couple of solid efforts in defeat this season and looks sure to be in the thick of things once again, while Rath Gaul Hill will be a player if fully tuned-up and top-weight Mount Tempest is also feared, despite a decidedly sluggish display at Sandown recently.
