Forecasts

Lisnagar Fortune (4/5), Kap D'attente (16/5), Figaroc (11/2), Cardamon Hill (13/2), Costanuci (10/1), Sting Of Drogon (12/1), Glen Na Tara (14/1), Lucky Zebo (28/1), Tennessee Titan (40/1), Jet Setting Johnny (40/1), Coolmeen Park (50/1), Crumb Of Comfort (50/1), Well Loved (80/1), Bint Freya (80/1), Mister Twist (100/1), Oc Go On (200/1), Made In Muckross (200/1)

KAP D'ATTENTE landed a maiden point by 17 lengths in March and she is an intriguing contender on her Rules debut for top connections. Interest levels will naturally heighten if the market speaks in her favour. Punchestown bumper winner Lisnagar Fortune bring potential to the table now switched to hurdles and he has to be feared, while Cardamon Hill, who has found just one too good on his 2 starts in bumpers, also merits respect. Glen Na Tara is the clear pick of those with hurdles experience.
