Forecasts

Chrisco (10/11), Turkestan (4/1), One For Lucy (5/1), Sixhandsinmypocket (11/2), Lisnamult Lad (10/1), Perzzini (12/1), Diamond Union (14/1), Eire Comes Tribsy (16/1), Rohans Successor (25/1), Park Annonciade (33/1), Ivy Hall (66/1), Temptation Time (100/1), Glencourt Valley (100/1), Oldtown To Emly (150/1)

CHRISCO stepped up on his debut effort when third in a Kilbeggan bumper in April and looks a likely type for hurdling. He gets the nod. One For Lucy and Sixhandsinmypocket rate the principal dangers.
