Forecasts

Ginto (30/100), Midnight It Is (4/1), Happy Victory (10/1), Benny The Duke (12/1), Golas Tiep (20/1), Gift Of Kings (25/1), Noah's Light (33/1), Country Of Poets (150/1), Reflectionist (200/1), Abbeyfeale (200/1), Shamrock'n Roll (250/1), Ballybaun Star (250/1)

GINTO was a useful winner in bumpers so may prove hard to beat on hurdles bow. Benny The Duke showed plenty to work on when second at Punchestown, while Midnight It Is sets a fair standard.
