Forecasts

Golden Sandbanks (9/4), Cracklinrose (4/1), Mater Matuta (5/1), The Declaimer (6/1), Berliet Express (15/2), Red Striker (8/1), Withallduerespect (8/1), Clody Valley (11/1), Inagh's Gift (12/1), Trees Valley (18/1), Ventnor (18/1), Charlie Siringo (25/1), Early Arrival (40/1)

WITHALLDUERESPECT wasn't seen to best effect here 6 weeks ago and is worth another chance having showed improved form to win at Clonmel the time before. Chasing debutants Golden Sandbanks and Red Striker both arrive on the back of career-best wins over hurdles so must be respected.
