Forecasts

Valsorpresa (11/10), Master Splinter (5/2), Bowmore (5/2), Pahlavi (4/1), Lisnamult Lad (10/1), Pro Bono (16/1), Atreides (16/1), Franno (16/1), Johnny M (16/1), Billy Hyatt (16/1), Kilkee Royal (25/1), Supposedtobe (28/1), Deep Sigh (66/1), Mille Miglia (66/1), My Kurkum (100/1), Kalsman (150/1)

VALSORPRESA shaped better than the bare result in a bumper last time and is worth another chance to confirm hurdle-debut promise back in this sphere. Bowmore stepped up on debut when fifth in a big field at Leopardstown and rates a serious threat with further improvement on the cards, with Master Splinter best of the others.
