Forecasts
Tonaghneave Well (11/4), Bowensonfire (11/4), Malbay Madness (9/2), Hasten Slowly (5/1), Ceanndana (15/2), Newtown Rambler (8/1), Portnacoo (8/1), Extrapolation (9/1), The Dasher Conway (14/1), Run For Harry (18/1), Dollar Value (18/1)
It's probably best to forgive PORTNACOO for a rare poor effort at Punchestown last time and this 7-y-o, who is 3-3 in handicap hurdles at this course, gets the nod ahead of the hat-trick seeking Malbay Madness. Recent Tramore 1-2 Bowensonfire and Hasten Slowly should both have parts to play, too.
