Forecasts

Kottayam (7/4), Midnight It Is (9/4), Brideswell Lad (10/3), Barncroft (11/2), Master Mattie (10/1), Dicebox (14/1), Skol (14/1), Ni Mhaonaigh (18/1), Captain Cal (25/1), Margarita Baby (33/1), Ruleout (40/1), Kilbrainy (40/1), Onesoc (40/1), Big Business (66/1), Moulane West (80/1), Bugscuffle (80/1), Ferdia (100/1)

The well-bred KOTTAYAM showed plenty in a Cork bumper on his debut back in summer 2019 and has subsequently joined Willie Mullins. He's open to improvement despite his long absence and could be the way to go. Midnight It Is is feared most ahead of Barncroft.
