Forecasts

Instit (8/13), Man O Work (15/8), Calvados (9/2), Downtheoldbogroad (40/1), Grand Revival (50/1), Shift And Drift (50/1), Sand Drift (50/1), Alex D (66/1), While You're Up (80/1), Martelli (200/1), Pure Sirloin (200/1), Millies Dream (200/1)

The progressive MAN O WORK was in the process of running well when departing in unfortunate circumstances in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse 2 weeks ago and remains of interest back down in class. French juvenile hurdle winner Instit looks an interesting recruit for Willie Mullins and is an obvious threat, while the more exposed Calvados is also a big player on form.
