Forecasts

Norwigi (2/1), Whacker Clan (4/1), Ramondo Dnzeo (4/1), Mutual Respect (9/1), Allbarone (10/1), Ujumpthelastuwin (14/1), Wild Caprice (16/1), One For Joe (16/1), Punters Poet (18/1), Grangeclare Native (20/1), Fierami (25/1), Mizuma (66/1)

This represents a golden opportunity for NORWIGI to open her account over fences now faced with a stiffer test. She was travelling well when departing at the third-last at Fairyhouse in April and her subsequent effort at Killarney reads very well in the context of this race. Winning hurdler Whacker Clan failed to make an impact on his chase debut, but he is entitled to improve on that and is second choice ahead of Ramondo Dnzeo and Ujumpthelastuwin.
