Forecasts

Madmansgame (4/11), Landrake (4/1), Klarc Kent (6/1), Hartur D'arc (8/1), Kiki Badger (10/1), Golden De Coeur (12/1), Gardener (18/1), From The Ashes (22/1), Memories Never Die (40/1), Butty O Brien (66/1), Desertmore House (66/1), Ranger Billy (100/1), Go Lassie Go (100/1), Al Ulaa (200/1), Ballyglass Beauty (250/1)

It's hard to look beyond MADMANSGAME, who has joined Willie Mullins for big money after winning his sole start in points. He can maintain his unbeaten record now switched to Rules, with Landrake and Hartur d'arc heading the dangers in what is likely to prove an informative contest.
