Forecasts

Final Orders (1/1), Emir De Rots (5/2), The Abbey (7/1), Maciver (11/1), King Ferdinand (18/1), Definiteadare (20/1), Kopon (33/1), Shamror Lass (50/1)

FINAL ORDERS hasn't done much wrong since joining present connections and matched the pick of his hurdles form when second on his chase debut at Downpatrick. A mere reproduction of that effort should see him go one better here. The Abbey has a little bit to prove on the back of a rather tame Clonmel effort but he's edging down the weights and is capable of a bold show. Emir de Rots is also considered.
