Forecasts

Where It All Began (6/4), Fair Frontieres (9/4), Pomerol George (5/2), Dom Of Mary (9/2), Hi Ho Phoenix (5/1), Clay Rogers (12/1), Hymie Weiss (33/1), Grattan Quay (80/1), Hard Lines (100/1), Mr Palm (125/1), Clondaw Precedent (150/1), Croagh Patrick (200/1)

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN kept on nicely for hands-and-heels riding when runner-up at Limerick on debut in December, so he looks the one to beat with this longer trip sure to be in his favour. Fair Frontieres was arguably an unlucky loser on his Navan hurdling debut and needs taking seriously now switching to a bumper. Hi Ho Phoenix is in top hands so is expected to build on his initial outing, also.
