Forecasts

Unexpected Depth (18/5), Streets Of Doyen (4/1), Riggs (5/1), Noble Birth (6/1), Walking On Glass (7/1), Lord Erskine (7/1), Macgiloney (9/1), Glenquin Castle (11/1), Waitnsee (11/1), Low Lie The Fields (14/1), Dromore Lad (16/1), Futurum Regem (16/1)

WALKING ON GLASS arrives on the back of a recent chase win and looks on a favourable mark back hurdling so he could prove the answer to this staying handicap. Riggs is taken to turn around recent Listowel form with Maggiloney and provide the chief threat to Padraig Roche's charge.
