Forecasts

Kells Priory (11/4), Wild Hunt (10/3), Nell's Well (9/2), Whatucallher (9/1), Bugs Moran (11/1), Carrigeen Lotus (11/1), Coastal World (11/1), It Could Be You (12/1), Ciao Bella (12/1), Capilano Bridge (14/1), Turbojet (28/1), Silver Planeur (66/1), Robbin'hannon (125/1)

There could be more to come from the progressive 5-y-o WILD HUNT following decisive victories at Clonmel and Down Royal in recent weeks, and he is taken to complete the hat-trick. Kells Priory lost little caste in defeat when third at Gowran and should be on the premises once more. Nell's Well, handicap debutant Bugs Moran and Capilano Bridge are others to consider, in that order of preference.
