Forecasts

Josephina (10/3), Not So Simple (4/1), The Abbey (11/2), Largy Trix (13/2), An Droichead Eile (15/2), Accidental Rebel (8/1), Bulldoze (8/1), Siberian Star (14/1), Pepper'n Salt (14/1), Seanbhothar (14/1), Something Sweet (16/1), Emir De Rots (16/1), Thisonesforollie (20/1), Monty's Mission (22/1), War Eagle (25/1), Lightsider (40/1), Ballydunblaze (80/1), Can't Be Done (125/1), Baile Mhuirne (200/1)

BULLDOZE became disappointing over hurdles but offered much more encouragement when a smooth-travelling fourth starting out over fences at Limerick 8 days ago. Provided the race doesn't come too soon, he can improve enough to land this relatively weak affair, with Josephina looking the main danger on paper. Accidental Rebel, the selection's stablemate, is the clear pick of the chasing debutants.
