Forecasts

Hes A Hardy Bloke (11/4), Jungle Junction (16/5), Ballinlough Gale (18/5), St Clerans (9/2), Kihavah (11/2), Bridge Native (12/1), Knight Of Malta (22/1), King Of Cashel (40/1), Golden Twilight (40/1), Le Boulevardier (150/1)

JUNGLE JUNCTION developed into a useful chaser in the spring and could be the way to go in this maiden. Hes A Hardy Bloke also switches to the level after a break having done well over hurdles and looks a big player. The luckless Ballinlough Gale seems sure to be thereabouts again.
