Forecasts

Rayapour (4/6), Palm Beach (15/8), Miss Tempo (6/1), Kingston Kid (10/1), Henry Star (12/1), Ten Minutes (33/1), Blackberry Jack (33/1), Wewillgowithplanb (40/1), Craic Eile (50/1), Time Budget (66/1), Dorans Boy (80/1), Baile Mhuirne (80/1), Getaway Molly (100/1), Mullahoran (100/1), Present Road (150/1), Big Business (150/1), Zero Six Nine (150/1), Millstream Mahler (250/1), Poetica (250/1)

A latented performer on the Flat in France, RAYAPOUR may well provide the all-conquering Willie Mullin yard with another winner, providing his jumping passes the test now switched to hurdles. Palm Beach deserves to get his head in front and he is a much-respected main danger, while Miss Tempo is also accorded respect and Henry Star is not without each-way hope.
