Forecasts

Mr Incredible (11/10), Genois (4/1), Torygraph (9/2), Jeremys Flame (13/2), Mercury Lane (9/1), Coqolino (10/1), Farceur Du Large (16/1), Indiana Jones (20/1), Wingin A Prayer (20/1), Limestone Rock (20/1), Commandingpresence (22/1), Grangeclare Native (25/1), Il Courra (28/1), Persia (33/1), Norwigi (40/1), Millen To One (50/1), Carrolls Cottage (50/1), Isotope (50/1), Scarpeta (100/1), John Adams (125/1), Fou Diligence (200/1)

MR INCREDIBLE created a really good impression when scoring over hurdles here in January and this real chasing type is fancied to go in at the first time of asking over fences on his return. Jeremy's Flame holds the best form of those with chasing experience and is next on the list, with Punchestown-third Wingin A Prayer appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
