Forecasts

Shannon Gray (4/1), Movie King (5/1), Western Doyen (13/2), Let Her Flow (7/1), Raven Queen (9/1), Sweet Will (10/1), Roccorionach (12/1), Grinn (12/1), O Mio Babbino (14/1), Betterask Jj (14/1), Added Bonus (16/1), Roman Parish (18/1), Joan Of Pimlico (18/1), Ceanndana (20/1), Kayla's Delight (22/1), Cassidys Girl (28/1), Bergentown (40/1), Rocc On Eddie (66/1), Gondor (66/1)

MOVIE KING fared much better than previously over hurdles when second at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago and given he stayed well on the Flat, this trip should be well within range. Shannon Gray and Let Her Flow are potential threats.
