Forecasts

Eskylane (8/15), Battle Of Actium (7/2), Don't Tell Allen (5/1), Bulldoze (16/1), Thirtyfourstitches (33/1)

the gelding BATTLE OF ACTIUM showed enough promise on his bumper debut in November to suggest this former point-to-point winner is capable of landing a race of this quality. He only tired in the closing stages of that race at Punchestown and is entitled to be fitter here. Don't Tell Allen is a well bred contestant for Willie Mullins and is expected to give a good account of himself on his debut. Strong market moves would be interesting. Eskylane ran well enough on his only racecourse appearance at Fairyhouse in November and has scope for improvement.
