Forecasts

Barncroft (3/1), Coastal Soon (7/2), Malinas Glory (9/2), Bergentown (5/1), Bronn (6/1), Ballyglass (17/2), Howyabud (9/1), Rocket Carnival (10/1), Run For Alice (14/1), Forever Frankie (20/1), Hollocaine (20/1), Park Hind (25/1), Be A Lucky Lady (28/1), Dorset Lady (28/1), Jimli's Glory (33/1), Woodstream Lad (40/1), Shandancer (50/1), Zufal (50/1)

MALINAS GLORY showed plenty of ability when runner-up in a novice hurdle at Clonmel, so he should take the beating in an interesting bumper. Rocket Carnival was well backed prior to a disappointing debut, so a bigger effort from his on the cards, while Bronn is comfortably the pick of the newcomers on paper.
