Forecasts

Macdermott (1/1), No Time To Wait (6/4), Soldante (6/1), Soldier Solid (11/1), Onehellofagetaway (14/1), Flidais (40/1), Cappy Cross (80/1), I'm For Home (150/1), Data Breach (150/1)

NO TIME TO WAIT made a solid start when third at Leopardstown just after christmas and, with more to come, he's narrowly preferred to Macdermott, a notable newcomer for a top stabel. Soldier Solid, who ran well in a novice hurdle last time, is another one to consider.
