Forecasts

Slige Dala (1/1), Coolbane Boy (7/2), Fortune Street (4/1), Envious Editor (6/1), Minella Escape (15/2), Gallowglass (18/1), Ardhill (18/1), Crobally Boy (22/1), Blustery (40/1), Champagne Paddy (50/1), Boselli (50/1), Trip To Milan (50/1), Rio Storm (100/1), Arrycan (150/1), Kilgorey (200/1), Getting In Touch (200/1), Brendale (200/1), Time To Bite (250/1), A Truant Always (250/1)

SLIGE DALA has won both his starts in bumpers this summer and is bred to make a jumper being a close relation to useful hurdler/chaser Knock House, so is taken to make a winning start in this sphere. Envious Editor and Fortune Street are feared most.
