Forecasts

Politesse (9/4), Tullybeg (3/1), Premium Package (4/1), Wingin A Prayer (4/1), Capilano Bridge (5/1), Millen To One (9/1), Jammy George (14/1), Metal Man (33/1), Hardwired (33/1), Broomfields Kan (40/1), Blackyellowred (80/1), Byland Abby (100/1), Bealnablath (250/1), Quill Road (300/1), Change Hill (300/1)

MILLEN TO ONE finally got the job done over hurdles at Leopardstown in December and he took another step forward when runner-up in a competitive Fairyhouse handicap back from a break last month (Capilano Bridge and Jammy George both behind). He is taken to make a winning chase debut. Tullybeg will potentially pose a big threat if conditions are not too testing and Politesse also merits respect.
