Forecasts

Hubrisko (4/9), The Last Mardi (3/1), Royal Romeo (7/1), Fennor Cross (8/1), John Cannon (20/1), Bynx (22/1), Positive Thinker (80/1), Hunters Song (80/1), Tom Kelly (100/1), Marelly (100/1), Bella Union (100/1), Chainofconsequence (100/1), Lily Bianca (100/1), Sea Of Sands (125/1), Jimli's Glory (125/1), Burren Shore (125/1), Lillydephilly (125/1), Caoimhes Pet (150/1), Blue Motion (150/1), Duhallow Rainbow (150/1), No Risk No Story (150/1), Beacon Street (150/1), Carraig Gorm (250/1)

HUBRISKO pulled clear of the rest when second in a big-field maiden here at the end of July and, with the promise of better to come from this 5-y-o, he will take plenty of stopping. Dual bumper winner The Last Mardi made an encouraging start over hurdles at Killarney 16 days ago and is next on the list ahead of Flat recruit Fennor Cross and Royal Romeo.
