Forecasts

Ha D'Or (1/4), A Fortune Out West (9/2), Celestial Horizon (6/1), Queen Jane (9/1), Fiston Des Issards (12/1), Bang On Target (20/1), Matts My Boy (25/1), Lonesome Day (25/1), Black Barrel (33/1), Flyin Hawaiian (40/1), Ardfert Mary (66/1), Chuffer Dandridge (80/1), Danny The Fence (100/1), Another Affair (125/1), Bidentime (125/1), Faithfulflyer (150/1), Our Bobby (200/1), Only One Plan (200/1), Drummartin Park (250/1), Happaugue (250/1)

Not nearly so competitive as the numbers suggest, and HA D'OR holds a clear edge on form so looks set to go one better than when runner-up at Navan last month. Henry de Bromhead's newcomer Queen Jane appeals as the one to give Willie Mullins' 5-y-o most to do, with Fiston des Issards another who has the form to have a say.
