Forecasts

Royal Romeo (11/10), High City Roller (5/2), Bold Approach (9/2), No Trouble (10/1), Aghinagh (12/1), Steel Cable (14/1), Sofias Castle (16/1), Fraternity (18/1), Onlyamatteroftime (33/1), Complete Fantasy (50/1), The Alpha Man (66/1), Thecornerhouse (200/1), Two Meter Rule (200/1), Oneforpaddy (200/1), Cosmology (200/1)

ROYAL ROMEO was fair on the Flat and showed enough when runner-up in a novice at Cork on hurdling debut to think that he can take this similar event. Aghinah has achieved a similar level of form but is slightly more exposed, so the main threat might actually come from hurdling newcomer High City Roller.
