Forecasts

Hell On Earth (7/2), Enduring Love (9/2), Mullaghmurphy Blue (5/1), Our Friend (11/2), Capture The Drama (13/2), Cappacon (15/2), Wake Up Early (9/1), The Cool Dude (11/1), Clonguile Way (12/1), Call Of The Loon (18/1), Beeper's Ruby (18/1), Walshestown (25/1), Monsieur Bagot (33/1), Cloudy Day (50/1), The Mooch (66/1)

MULLAGHMURPHY BLUE is well treated on old form and looked to retain much of his ability when a back-to-form second at this course last time, so he's fancied to go one better back up in trip. Hell On Earth and The Cool Dude look the chief threats.
