Forecasts

Solindian (11/8), Mikhail (9/2), Earth Sister (5/1), Stowaway Sarah (11/2), Decor Irlandais (12/1), Dunbar (16/1), Bridgets Cross (20/1), Remember Le Jumeau (20/1), Breffniboy (20/1), Shelcomeonfordrun (25/1), Pino Boy (25/1), Whenurgoodurgood (28/1), Carlyle My Son (100/1), Scanimax (100/1)

SOLINDIAN is a brother to a bumper winner and looks a likely sort on paper. He's the first runner for Willie Mullins in the Qatar Racing colours and can get the partnership off to a flying start, while perhaps completing an excellent evening for the Closutton team. Stowaway Sarah is the pick from those have run, following a solid Limerick effort while Gordon Elliott's newcomer Mikhail should be capable of running well.
