Forecasts

Chelseas Friend (4/1), Dasmyhoss (4/1), Repeat That (5/1), Rubiana (5/1), Nuttorridge (11/2), Mullaghmore Wave (15/2), Charlie Bit Me (17/2), Amlad (17/2), Stellar Stow (14/1), Magic Of Words (16/1), Yulong Voice (16/1), Shean Glory (20/1), Golden Glen (20/1), Glenquin Castle (22/1), Fainche (33/1), Storm And Glory (50/1), Scanimax (66/1), Giftedtokate (200/1)

CHELSEAS FRIEND arrives on a bit of a role and may be capable of defying the handicapper again and completing a hat-trick. Recent Bellewstown scorer Repeat That heads the dangers along with Rubiana, who has been in good form over hurdles and fences in recent weeks.
