Forecasts

Barrowdale (7/4), Inflagrante (5/2), Rockinastorm (7/1), Cabhfuilfungi (15/2), Ask The Judge (12/1), Come On Gary (16/1), Dicey Rielly (18/1), Bravethewaves (20/1), Silverhill Stamp (22/1), Just Deegeeteebee (28/1), Fortune Traveller (33/1), Hubble (33/1)

INFLAGRANTE represents a stable with an excellent record in bumpers, so he's taken to emulate his dam and make a successful start. Barrowdale, a 10-length winner of his sole start in Irish points last December, warrants plenty of respect, while Cabhfuilfungi is the pick of those with previous experience in this sphere.
