Forecasts

Nonbinding (9/4), King Kal (5/2), Duleek Street (6/1), Nailed Down (11/1), Television (11/1), Blossom De Mai (12/1), L'or Des Roses (14/1), Monrocher (14/1), Mac's Xpress (16/1), Bookem Danno (22/1), Great Island (28/1), First Shot (40/1), Diliymi (50/1), Lily Bianca (80/1), Keep D Change (100/1), Pretention (125/1)

A thin maiden that can see NONBINDING open his account. He made a pleasing return when second in a stronger novice hurdle at Ballinrobe 3 weeks ago and has clear claims on that form. Television and the well-bred Mac's Xpress are a couple of others to note.
