Forecasts

Load Up Time (13/8), Alohamora (2/1), Cusp Of Carabelli (4/1), Kilkeaskins First (9/2), Tintown Robin (11/2), Local Rogue (8/1), Viking Hoard (10/1), Abraham (12/1), Howitsdone (14/1), Chin'up (16/1)

The application of blinkers for the first time can see ALOHAMORA build on a promising third at Leopardstown last time out. The selection has a top jockey booked to ride and he can get the better of Load Up Time who represents a leading stable here while third place can go to Cusp Of Carabelli who has won here in the past and is returning from a break.
