Forecasts

On The Tide (9/4), Aide De Camp (4/1), Vocito (6/1), Sheephaven Flyer (7/1), Japers Jack (17/2), Happywifehappylife (10/1), Jaariam (10/1), Nephin Beg (14/1), Open The Gate (14/1), Whatsitabout (14/1), Abbeydale (20/1), Gigantamax Eevee (33/1), Ms Agartha Yeats (50/1), Sumalee (50/1), Realta Geal (100/1), Slaney Bank (100/1), Suture Self (150/1)

AIDE DE CAMP might have needed the run when sixth on his Roscommon hurdle debut 5 weeks ago and his bumper form of last season suggests he could leave that form behind now. On The Tide showed enough in bumpers last spring to think he could make an impact in a race like this now hurdling. Abbeydale was well beaten on his bumper debut 6 weeks ago but he has a good pedigree and it would be no surprise to see him prove a different proposition now hurdling.
