Forecasts

Elusive Rain (3/1), Derracrin (3/1), The Toothpicker (11/2), Wild Hunt (6/1), Hi Stranger (9/1), Raynedanse (10/1), Back Yourself (11/1), Forever Frankie (20/1), Callanditsallover (28/1), Uknowcarty (33/1), Kazimierz (33/1), Sava Sunrise (33/1), Kodding No One (33/1), Whiskey Lady (33/1), Shandancer (40/1), Oneforpaddy (40/1), Cooldine Lady (40/1), Don De Dieu (50/1), Athagabhain (80/1), Fairwood Lingo (100/1), Jades Dream (150/1)

WILD HUNT only found a talented sort too good at Punchestown and, with the benefit of experience over a number of his rivals, this looks like a terrific opportunity to go one better. Willie Mullins' newcomer, Derracrin, is an obvious threat, while Elusive Rain also makes some appeal on paper first time out.
