Forecasts

Great Bear (5/4), Take All (5/1), An Fraoch Mor (7/1), Due Reward (15/2), Clondaw Secret (8/1), Act Of God (9/1), Bridge Native (11/1), Humaniste (18/1), Drumlee Brexit (250/1)

GREAT BEAR is still a maiden over jumps but he posted a useful effort when third in a competitive handicap at Punchestown 19 days ago and, with the performance backed up by the timefigure, he looks the way to go. Act of Gold could still have more to come as a hurdler and is feared most, along with Take All.
