Forecasts

Francois (7/2), Where's Bunny (9/2), Room To Roam (11/2), Lord Gillygooley (6/1), Whatsyourstatus (13/2), Delias Pet (17/2), Willywampus (11/1), Clody Valley (11/1), Withallduerespect (14/1), Lesssaidthebetter (16/1), Carnet De Stage (22/1), Dontdooddson (25/1)

ROOM TO ROAM ran well at Thurles when last seen 106 days ago and he's well treated based on hurdling form, so he gets the nod ahead of Francois, who was third over hurdles at Down Royal last week. Lesssaidthebetter is another one to consider.
