Forecasts

The Abbey (16/5), Half Shot (5/1), Dynamic Allen (6/1), Collo Meo (8/1), Dedanann (17/2), Doldido (9/1), Moonlight Glory (9/1), Runadrum (9/1), Stucker Hill (12/1), Secret Cargo (12/1), Fort William (12/1), Gone Racing (14/1), Our Brian (33/1), James Boru (33/1), Zagnzig (33/1), Vic's Little Miss (50/1)

RUNADRUM seemed to excel himself sent chasing when fourth at Down Royal 18 days ago and a reproduction of that form may be good enough to see him come out on top here. Moonlight Glory and Stucker Hill are a couple of potential threats.
