Forecasts

Ganapathi (2/5), Barney Stinson (10/3), Oryx Hustler (11/2), Morph (14/1), Rajsalad (33/1), Awesome Shirocco (33/1), Loup De Tallane (50/1), Double Martini (66/1), Howdyalikemenow (66/1), Walk Alone (100/1), Presenting Lad (150/1), Eaton Lady (200/1), Panic Over (250/1)

French bumper winner GANAPATHI will likely be tough to beat now setting out for new trainer Willie Mullins. Barney Stinson made a promising start to his career when second over C&D at the start of the month and is the obvious one to give the selection most to think about unless the betting speaks in the favour of Henry de Bromhead newcomer Oryx Hustler.
