Forecasts

Bring The Bacon (13/8), Buttons And Bows (7/2), Big Debates (4/1), Chesterville (11/2), Rebel Waltz (14/1), Bitview Colin (16/1), Crimson Chief (25/1), Broder (25/1), Gold Creek (40/1), Celtic Dancer (50/1), Sanibel Island (66/1), Magic Sea (66/1)

BUTTONS AND BOWS would likely have followed up his Wexford success at Listowel 16 days ago but for a late fall when going best and compensation may well await. Bring The Bacon and Big Debates can boast recent winning form over hurdles and look the chief threats.
