Forecasts

Regina Dracones (5/2), Itsnotinit (5/1), Takarengo (15/2), Lee Valley Legacy (15/2), Fenno's Storm (15/2), Difficult Decision (9/1), The Trigger (10/1), Young Dev (14/1), Lisavalley Lass (14/1), Ennemi Public (18/1), Wavelength (20/1), Moyode Gold (25/1), Grey Habit (33/1), Round The Buoy (33/1), Dedanann (40/1)

ITSNOTINIT took another step forward when runner-up (front two clear) at Punchestown 3 weeks ago and can make light of a 3 lb rise with further progress on the cards. Last-time-out 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.
