Forecasts

Read To Return (5/2), Must Be Dreaming (13/2), The Abbey (7/1), Hardwired (15/2), Karen's Gift (9/1), Kingston Kid (9/1), Leac An Scail Lady (9/1), Another Million (10/1), Knocknagappagh (12/1), Jetango (16/1), Midnight Our Fred (16/1), Shean Glory (20/1), Oryx Hustler (20/1), Roman Parish (33/1), Didn'tsleepawink (33/1), Ranger Billy (40/1)

In a race where few arrive with compelling claims perhaps HARDWIRED can finally get his head in front. Leac An Scail Lady went close on her C&D chase debut last summer and could be a threat if new trainer Michael Butler has her primed after 8 months off. The Abbey is also more than capable of making his presence felt at this level if on a going day.
