Forecasts

Brideswell Lad (11/4), Filon D'Oudairies (11/4), Where's Bunny (7/2), Moonlit Sea (6/1), Gelee Blanche (13/2), Trans Wood (8/1), Basil's Boy (12/1), War God (12/1), Father Jed (16/1), Early Arrival (22/1), Cap D'Aubois (25/1), Loughaneala Og (25/1)

FILON D'OUDAIRIES took a big step back in the right direction when runner-up at Killarney a fortnight ago and now looks poised to strike. Where's Bunny has been shaping up quite well over hurdles of late and is a threat, with Gelee Blanche another to consider with her reappearance under her belt.
