Forecasts

Glenquin Castle (13/8), Time And Times (6/1), Rock On Barney (7/1), Porky Rush (8/1), Laughing Trix (10/1), Anuas Ar An Bpost (10/1), Daisy's Hollow (12/1), Stolen Moment (14/1), Walking The Walk (16/1), Howyated (20/1), She's Made It (25/1), Hopefully (25/1), Drimsree Lad (28/1), Some Venture (33/1), Smash The Lamp (40/1), October Revolution (40/1), Opie Houdini (40/1), Ice Cool (80/1)

A big field but the profile of GLENQUIN CASTLE stands out a long way. He completed a hat-trick over fences last month and is much lower in the weights over hurdles so he looks at least one step ahead of the assessor. Porky Rush and Time And Times are viable threats.
