Forecasts

Chavajod (3/1), Kudbegood (9/2), Adamaris (9/2), Church Mountain (11/2), Khafaaq (7/1), Lifetime Legend (15/2), Shona Mea (9/1), Trueba (11/1), Very Excellent (14/1), Bobby K (16/1), Emphatic (16/1), Going In Style (16/1), Akhlaaq (18/1), Ideal Pal (25/1), Mutadaawel (25/1), Sod's Law (33/1), Red Contender (33/1), Ghumama (50/1), Wee Jim (66/1), Rustler (66/1), Willywampus (80/1)

A highly competitive handicap but recent Killarney scorer ADAMARIS has returned better than ever this term so he gets the nod. Khafaaq can boast a course win and looks the one to give him most to do, although Chavajod can have a say too if the blinkers work the oracle for a second time after his Roscommon success.
