Forecasts

Light Brigade (9/4), Vartry Avenue (4/1), Land Jet (6/1), Major Robinson (13/2), Street Fighter (8/1), Kapard (8/1), Gevrey (12/1), Ultra Viers (14/1), New Standards (16/1), Clonbury Bridge (20/1), Mahons Glory (22/1), Goule Piatte (28/1), Cool Petra (28/1), Monas Melody (33/1), Me Too Please (40/1), Plains Indian (40/1), L'intemporel (66/1), Kyubi (100/1), Comawnfarney (100/1)

The betting will be informative in this bumper. A chance is taken on MAJOR ROBINSON, for whom the booking of top amateur Jamie Codd augurs well. Promising Gowran debut second Light Brigade may be next best while others to consider closely include Punchestown debut third Ultra Viers and Land Jet.
