Forecasts

All About Joe (6/4), Breakeven (3/1), Meet And Greet (5/1), Coolbawn Lad (17/2), Hereditary Rule (11/1), Churchstonewarrior (12/1), Dedanann (14/1), Cantgetenough (33/1), Song Of Earth (50/1), Magic Of Words (66/1), Born Patriot (80/1), Gipsi Joe (80/1), Zamond (100/1)

Dual point/bumper winner BREAKEVEN should build on his hurdles debut effort here last month and he gets the nod. Coolbawn Lad is feared on the back of his improved recent display at Clonmel, while All About Joe also enters calculations. Hereditary Rule makes each-way appeal and, having shown ability on debut in a Roscommon bumper during the summer, Meet And Greet, is also shortlisted.
