Forecasts

Potters Party (5/6), Macdermott (10/3), Viceregent (5/1), Power Hour (8/1), Sea Road Fill (9/1), Just Eileen (20/1), Our Zebo (40/1), Coffee Bay (50/1), Western Model (50/1), Double Dating (50/1), Midnight Our Fred (66/1), Noble Talent (80/1), Flemansflick (100/1), Nancy Miles (150/1), Maymullen (200/1)

POTTERS PARTY and Viceregent are the clear form picks here, the former narrowly preferred. Macdermott stepped up on his hurdles debut run when fifth at Limerick and may prove best of the rest.
