Forecasts

One Last Tango (4/1), Conyers Hill (9/2), Belle The Lioness (9/2), Call Me Lyreen (5/1), Doyen Ta Win (11/2), Bythesametoken (15/2), Clarens (15/2), Effernock Fizz (8/1)

Verdict

BYTHESAMETOKEN is potentially on a good mark back over hurdles given his recent expolits over fences so gets the vote over One Last Tango, who had excuses last time. Call Me Lyreen took a step back in the right direction at Leopardstown so is another to consider.
