Forecasts

Rubiana (7/2), Trans Wood (7/1), Meehall (7/1), Repeat That (7/1), Bitview Colin (15/2), Arverne (9/1), Magic Piper (10/1), The Eye Of Tulla (10/1), Four Country Roads (11/1), Swiss Brid (12/1), King's War (12/1), Think Positive (14/1), Therellalwaysbeone (18/1), Carlotalin (20/1), Tullyhogue Fort (22/1), Warreedy (25/1), Fr Gilligansvoyge (33/1)

MEEHALL has shaped well when runner-up on both chase starts and can go one better now. Bitview Colin is feared most on the back of his Limerick success last month. Magic Piper and Trans Wood also make the shortlist.
