Forecasts

Happy Dreams (4/1), Fameaftertheglory (9/2), Difficult Decision (7/1), Boghlone Honey (7/1), Majavango (7/1), Broken Ice (9/1), Sir Bob (10/1), Clonbury Bridge (14/1), Galon De Vauzelle (14/1), Coole Arcade (14/1), Soloman Lane (16/1), Millen To One (22/1), Rock Of Tuskar (33/1), Quantatmental (40/1), Dont Go Yet (66/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. SIR BOB signed off for last term with an easy hurdling success at Cork and resumes on an attractive mark back chasing so gets the nod. Limerick-scorer Happy Dreams arrives on the up and is feared most, although Coole Arcade, Fameaftertheglory and Dont Go Yet all need factoring in too.
