Forecasts

Idas Boy (4/7), Fourneux D'isanka (4/1), Il Courra (6/1), Tom McGreevy (11/1), Stowaway John (16/1), Churchstonewarrior (16/1), Mercury Lane (33/1), Elusive Star (33/1), Mount Callan (50/1), Nuttorridge (100/1), Helpisontheway (100/1), Timeisevenharder (300/1)

There was plenty to like about IDAS BOY's second at Clonmel on his Rules debut last November and he can go one better on his return, perhaps at the main expense of fellow Gigginstown runner Fourneux d'Isanka. Kilbeggan runner-up Il Courra also makes the shortlist.
