Forecasts

Saylavee (11/8), Black Bamboo (9/4), Grace Shelby (15/2), Malinas Glory (8/1), Any Biscuits (10/1), Power Hour (18/1), Memories Never Die (25/1), Laffite (50/1), Covermeinsunshine (66/1), Alpesh Amin (150/1), Killoughteen (200/1)

BLACK BAMBOO performed well above market expectations when third in a big-field Punchestown bumper on debut last spring, and he will have every chance here if able to build on that back from a 9-month absence. Saylavee is an obvious threat starting out for Willie Mullins on the back of her encouraging debut second at Tipperary in October, while Memories Never Die is best of the rest.
