Forecasts

Rock On Seamie (6/1), Baltinglass Hill (7/1), Gone Racing (7/1), Allez George (7/1), General Clermont (15/2), Tisadream (15/2), Rich Belief (8/1), Ya Ya Baby (8/1), Master Cornwall (11/1), Ricky Bobby (14/1), Monatomic (14/1), Well Funded (16/1), Howsthewoman (22/1), Ahaziah (25/1), Walkers Point (25/1), Staged Engagement (28/1), Zamond (28/1), Tonkinese (28/1), Ricky Langford (33/1), Colfer Me (50/1), Getalife (50/1)

BALTINGLASS HILL would surely have won at Navan 3 weeks ago but for a bad mistake at the last and compensation may well await. Rich Belief and Master Cornwall are just a couple of potential threats.
