Forecasts

Sean Hogan (5/4), Direct Fire (3/1), Endless Cash (4/1), Presenting Bonnie (8/1), Tipping Away (10/1), Captain Court (10/1), Hymie Weiss (10/1), Unlaoised (12/1), Ballybeatnik (14/1), Iknownothing (20/1), Nymphhall (25/1), Barrow Bounty (40/1), Justakeg (66/1), Zamond (66/1), Champagne Monarch (100/1), Fairy Orchard (100/1), Charlie Bee (250/1)

SEAN HOGAN was in the process of running creditably when falling over 3m at Punchestown 52 days ago and, with potential for better still intact, he gets the nod to come out on top in an ordinary affair. Endless Cash and Direct Fire are others who can feature.
