Forecasts

Glen Ava (5/4), Sanibel Island (10/3), Walking The Walk (5/1), Diegos Way (12/1), Three Loud Knocks (14/1), Important Message (16/1), Falcon Park (22/1), Rudy Catrail (25/1), Shantou Sisu (25/1), Garrai Phaidin (25/1), Magic Piper (33/1), Fr Gilligansvoyge (50/1), Allduckornodinner (66/1)

WALKING THE WALK fared best of those held up when runner-up at Wexford and is potentially well treated if building on that starting out for Gordon Elliott. Important Message and Sanibel Island head the dangers.
