Forecasts

Ya Boy Ya (5/4), Master Artist (9/2), Game Socks (6/1), Mr Lombardi (7/1), Clancypantz (9/1), Pottlerath (10/1), Fitness Du Sud (16/1), Champions Hill (20/1), Bally Upper (20/1), Game Catch (28/1), Snugsborough Lucy (50/1), Alittlewhisper (66/1), Roscomroe (66/1), Storm And Glory (150/1), Anuas Ar An Bpost (150/1), Knoxter's Hill (200/1)

YA BOY YA will be suited by the step back up in trip and may be capable of getting off the mark here. The Mouse Morris-trained Mr Lombardi will be a threat if recapturing the form he showed when third at Cork on his penultimate run, while Master Artist could have more to offer on the back of his Wexford second.
