Forecasts

Tiger Orchid (11/8), Kavanaghs Cross (5/2), Dan's Cross (7/1), Do No Wrong (8/1), Arab Moon (8/1), Cirque Royal (11/1), Gripper (33/1), Pure Surf (50/1), Toutatis (66/1), Deerfoot (100/1), Turbo Command (200/1), Solway Mouse (250/1), Cole Noir (250/1)

TIGER ORCHID has done well in bumpers this summer, winning 2 of his 3 starts, and he’s fancied to continue that good work over hurdles and make a successful debut. Kavanaghs Cross is an obvious contender on the pick of his form in Ireland, with Dan's Cross also in the mix following a promising start in this sphere at Cartmel.
