Forecasts

Grandmaster Flash (7/4), Sneaky Getaway (9/4), Anna Bunina (4/1), Whirling Dervish (6/1), Construct (6/1), Kasperenko (11/1), Bar Room Bore (500/1), Old Town Road (500/1), Just A Rumour (500/1)

A trappy affair which can go the way of SNEAKY GETAWAY whose jumping didn't come up to scratch in a big-field Leopardstown handicap hurdle over Christmas but had been in good form prior to that and can make a successful return to the Flat under Colin Keane. Whirling Dervish and Grandmaster Flash may give him most to do.
