Forecasts

Bells Life (11/4), Dorans Boy (10/3), Ask Philip (11/2), Itso Vango (13/2), Glendaars Star (8/1), Hidalgo Des Mottes (11/1), Stonehall (11/1), Mr Brogue (18/1), Ithaka (25/1), Gekkota (33/1), Raymondstown (33/1), Areyougoinforone (66/1), Vairue (100/1), Aoibheann Na Ngall (100/1)

Not a deep maiden so it may pay to side with DORANS BOY in the hope he can bounce back from a lesser effort in Wexford (that race did work out better than expected). Ask Philip has headgear on for the first time and is a threat, along with Bells Life.
