Forecasts

Casey West (11/10), Don Chalant (7/2), Garde Des Champs (5/1), Glebe Road (17/2), Ask The Doc (9/1), Iron Bridge (11/1), Ballybeen (16/1), Half Track (25/1), Mangan Arthur (25/1), Tareefa Boy (33/1), Konik King (33/1), Ballygoe (40/1), Broomfield Drama (50/1), Call Colman (66/1)

CASEY WEST showed plenty of ability when runner-up in a big-field maiden hurdle at Punchestown last month and should prove hard to beat if reproducing that form now switched to a bumper. Garde des Champs requires a market check with Jamie Codd booked to ride, with Iron Bridge and Glebe Road others to note.
