Forecasts

M C Muldoon (15/8), Gloire D'Athon (4/1), Alko Rouge (4/1), Lucky Tenner (5/1), Confusionanddelay (6/1), Priory Park (8/1), Mere Catherine (8/1), Back On The Bridle (14/1), Ballykilmurray (25/1), Lar's Lass (25/1), Present Storm (33/1), King And Queen (50/1), Kashi (50/1), The Greek (50/1), Gray Moonlight (66/1), Bader (100/1), Mater Matuta (100/1), Cliara (100/1), Magnor Glory (100/1)

Former useful Flat performer M C MULDOON made a promising return over hurdles for his new stable when fourth at Leopardstown over Christmas and can build on that and strike at the second time of asking in this sphere for the Willie Mullins team. Bumper winner Lucky Tenner rates a possible threat, while there could also be more to come from Gloire d'Athon now dropping back to 2m.
