Forecasts

Calthor (5/4), Carrig Rock (2/1), Charlie Siringo (6/1), Landue (7/1), Dalileo (8/1), Insignia Of Rank (14/1), Ricky Bobby (20/1), Endless Cash (22/1), Golden Zero (22/1), Fort William (25/1), Wojood (25/1), Top Question (28/1), Self Assessed (33/1), Lead Light To Dawn (40/1), Didn'tsleepawink (50/1), Crescent Lake (50/1), We'll Go Again (66/1), Smeaton (125/1)

CARRIG ROCK was successful between the flags in November and stepped up on his hurdles debut effort when going close over 19.7f at Fairyhouse last time. This drop in trip shouldn't pose a problem and he is taken to make it third time lucky in this sphere. Calthor is feared on the back of a creditable effort at Wexford, while Charlie Siringo is also shortlisted.
