Forecasts

Misty Millie (4/1), Harvey Specter (4/1), Guido Reni (11/2), Sweet Affection (11/2), Clonard Abbey (7/1), Leahman (7/1), Getaway Queen (9/1), Der Mc (12/1), Mithmaar (14/1), Griffyndor (14/1), By Rail (25/1), Karashala (25/1), Caridadi (25/1), Rubys Jazz (40/1), Carried (50/1), Swiss Cottage (100/1)

GUIDO RENI has been knocking on the door on the Flat this term. His latest hurdle effort is easy to put a line through as he was effectively out of the contest after a bad error 3 out and he may prove the answer to this tricky finale. Leahman, Leopardstown winner Sweet Affection and Clonard Abbey head the dangers.
