Forecasts

Jack In The Box (11/4), Pont Du Gard (11/4), Lucky Tenner (10/3), Corbeau (10/3), Broken Bond (15/2), Patsy's Honour (11/1), Asluckwouldhaveit (14/1), Backintheroom (14/1), Whatdoyouknow (20/1), Kilbree Warrior (40/1), Leish Oscars Son (40/1), Beeverstown Bullet (50/1), Ranger Billy (50/1), Kaytana (200/1), Allyouneedisone (300/1), Stormy Glenn (300/1), Redwood Queen (300/1), Advance (300/1)

PONT DU GARD holds a clear edge on form and should strip fitter for his recent Punchestown sixth after an absence so looks the way to go here. Broken Bond made a promising debut when third there and is next on the list, with Lucky Tenner and Jack In The Box appealing as best equipped to fight it out for minor honours.
