Forecasts

Dads Lad (4/9), Dark Spark (9/4), Ballytobin (16/1), Pro Bono (18/1), Rathnure Rookie (33/1), Sputnik (33/1), Timeisevenharder (33/1), Panic Over (40/1), Double Jubilee (50/1)

DADS LAD failed to justify support on first outing for this yard after 12 months off at Galway, though he did best of those that tried in vain to reel in the enterprisingly-ridden winner, and is taken to make amends. Dark Spark is a likely newcomer for Gordon Elliott and is the obvious threat.
