Forecasts

Perceval Legallois (9/4), Glenglass (10/3), The Gradual Slope (7/2), Time Marches On (9/2), Auckland (5/1), The Folkes Tiara (8/1), Pale Blue Dot (8/1), Somethingaboutcian (33/1), Noche Negra (40/1), Alpesh Amin (50/1), Dorans Boy (66/1), Out The Gap (150/1), Glendaars Star (200/1), Marelly (200/1), Botanic Ridge (200/1), Caoimhes Pet (200/1), Kingston Royal (200/1), Ask The Bishop (250/1)

Probably a good maiden hurdle for the time of year with TIME MARCHES ON selected to open his account after a fine run at Fairyhouse last month. Auckland and Glenglass are among the chief dangers.
