Forecasts

Regina Dracones (4/1), Young Dev (9/2), Itsnotinit (5/1), Takarengo (8/1), The Trigger (10/1), Fenno's Storm (10/1), Multifactorial (12/1), Difficult Decision (12/1), Owenacurra Lass (14/1), Ask Heather (16/1), Wavelength (16/1), Moyode Gold (16/1), Danse Away (20/1), Round The Buoy (33/1)

ITSNOTINIT took another step forward when runner-up (front two clear) at Punchestown 12 days ago and can make light of a 3 lb rise with further progress on the cards. Last month's C&D scorer Regina Dracones is another heading in the right direction at present and rates an obvious danger. Denis Hogan's Young Dev is also on the shortlist.
