Forecasts

The Jam Man (5/2), Portmore Lough (6/1), Death Duty (10/1), Discordantly (11/1), Fitzhenry (12/1), Elwood (14/1), Scoir Mear (16/1), Mormon (16/1), Forza Milan (16/1), Aforementioned (16/1), Plan Of Attack (18/1), Triplicate (20/1), Moyhenna (22/1), Cheb De Kerviniou (28/1), Minella Till Dawn (33/1), Cooldine Bog (40/1), Gun Digger (50/1), Mr Diablo (50/1), Roaring Bull (66/1), Dounikos (80/1), General Principle (80/1), Diamond Turf (80/1)

THE JAM MAN makes plenty of appeal from this mark based on his form over hurdles, so he's taken to land this valuable prize. Portmore Lough was third in this race last year and must enter calculations following a good second to Aforementioned at Limerick last month, with the unexposed Triplicate completing the shortlist.
