Forecasts

Pat Coyne (7/2), Top Of The Charts (9/2), Enduring Love (5/1), Western Sea (6/1), Arrycan (13/2), The Inbetween (17/2), Top Question (10/1), Tropical Stream (10/1), Getzie (14/1), I'm Not Alone (16/1), Bolbec (16/1), Court Adjourned (33/1), All The Best (33/1), Tara Mia (40/1), Rightback Atya (40/1)

ARRYCAN is clearly a much better chaser than hurdler, running out a decisive winner at Downpatrick last month and his opening mark over these obstacles may underestimate him. Pat Coyne and Western Sea are a couple of potential threats.
