Forecasts

Fancy A Cosmo (15/8), Rodaniche (9/4), Chiricahua (5/2), Midnight Our Fred (13/2), Neveradullmoment (16/1), Downtown Queen (16/1), Barncroft (33/1), Ocojohn (50/1), My Little Lily (50/1), She's No Secret (66/1), Herculaneum (80/1), Duffys Getaway (80/1), Aoibheann Na Ngall (100/1), Roccorionach (150/1), Call Me Tina (200/1), Rocc On Eddie (250/1)

Only a handful of these make any serious appeal with RODANICHE getting the vote. Gordon Elliott's charge was well backed and shaped encouragingly when finishing runner-up at Listowel on hurdling debut, and, with improvement on the cards, he's taken to score second time up. Fancy A Cosmo continues to go from strength to strength so he could provide the main threat, ahead of Chiricahua.
