Forecasts

Dads Lad (4/5), Breakeven (3/1), Elusive Gigolo (13/2), Mr Solomon (12/1), General Clermont (18/1), Synone (20/1), Daring Lord (25/1), Razzle Dazzle Love (33/1), Champagne Auction (150/1), Ballycurrane Boy (150/1)

DADS LAD showed a fair level of form in a couple of outings for Olivia Byrne last season and looks open to improvement having joined Willie Mullins, so a chance is taken on him to make a winning return from 11 months off. Breakeven, who's winning debut is proving strong form, also makes appeal along with Elusive Gigolo.
