Forecasts

Tony's Pet (10/11), Phils Choice (4/1), Plain Or Battered (6/1), True Artist (13/2), Hi Ski (10/1), Cool Cookie Claude (12/1), Ballygriffin Girl (16/1), Elusive Guy (22/1), New Barn Lane (22/1), Battle Bound (28/1), Mad For The Craic (33/1), Tullig Wood (40/1), Elsannah (100/1), Hot Shimmer (125/1), Lady Llewelyn (125/1)

TONY'S PET makes some appeal on paper for his in-form stable and could make a successful start. Phils Choice has shown plenty in bumpers and is interesting on this switch to hurdling. True Artist seemed to excel himself at Cork on Sunday and would have to be feared if turned out again quickly.
