Forecasts

Metersandmasks (11/4), Mr Saxobeat (5/1), Winter Fog (11/2), Alohamora (13/2), Happy Jacky (7/1), Morosini (11/1), Vadaly (14/1), Feigh (16/1), Edison Kent (16/1), Hybery (18/1), Molly Wedger (40/1), Cusp Of Carabelli (40/1), Aramax (40/1), Macgiloney (40/1)

WINTER FOG disappointed at Aintree but his placed efforts in highly competitive events at Leopardstown over Christmas and the Cheltenham Festival prior to that read very well and he's given another chance with first-time cheekpieces replacing a hood. Alohamora has thrived over fences recently and is a major player off her lower hurdle mark. Recent Cork scorer Metersandmasks is also on the shortlist.
