Forecasts

Siberian Star (7/2), Pat Coyne (4/1), Presenting Point (5/1), Ragnar Lodbrok (6/1), That's Lifebuoy (17/2), Fangio De Vassy (17/2), Envol Pierji (9/1), Jack Hackett (14/1), Whatsyourstatus (16/1), Mister Bells (28/1), Quantatmental (50/1)

An open-looking contest with preference for SIBERIAN STAR who can continue his good run of form. The 7-y-o gained his first win over fences in a competitive event at Leopardstown in December and ran well there next time switched to hurdles last month. That's Lifebuoy is feared most having faced a very stiff task in listed company a week ago, while Pat Coyne was in fine form when last seen 6 months ago and has gone well fresh in the past.
