Forecasts

Flanking Maneuver (5/4), Percy Warner (15/8), Not Available (7/2), Sellarbridge (9/1), Fredastare (33/1), Klickity Klopp (33/1), Johnny Giro (33/1), Foxhole (50/1), Vee Dancer (50/1), Nancy Miles (50/1), Extreme Cacao (66/1), Dympnas Well (66/1), Tom McGreevy (80/1), Castle Town House (100/1), Octobia (100/1), My Friend Aoife (125/1), Still King (150/1), Waittillitellyou (150/1), No Way Pedro (150/1), Drumbaragh (150/1), Getupthemstairs (200/1), Gaelic Force (200/1), Peter Pat (200/1)

The betting will be revealing but NOT AVAILABLE ticks all the right boxes on paper and could be up to making a successful debut. Point-winner Percy Warner and bumper-winner Flanking Maneuver are a couple of the other more interesting contenders.
