Forecasts

Authorized Art (11/8), Burren Song (7/2), War Correspondent (11/2), Effernock Fizz (6/1), Nibiru (7/1), S'all Good Man (10/1), Lord Erskine (10/1), Magellan Strait (11/1), Hell Bent (16/1), Hawke Eye (33/1), Liberated Light (33/1), Vultan (66/1), In Favour (80/1)

BURREN SONG arrives on the up and is fancied to defy a 6 lb rise in the weights and complete a hat-trick at the chief expense of Willie Mullins' Authorized Art, who returns to this sphere on a handy-looking mark. Dundalk scorer S'All Good Man appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.
