Forecasts

Young Fitzy (15/8), That's Lifebuoy (9/4), Awkwafina (5/1), Top Line Tommy (15/2), Longacre Square (10/1), Getaway Katie (11/1), Coolamber (40/1)

TOP LINE TOMMY wasn't at his best at Fairyhouse last time but might be the answer if recapturing the form he showed when fifth in a useful maiden chase at Thurles in November. Young Fitzy may provide the main threat if translating his hurdle ability to fences at the first time of asking.
