Forecasts

The Banger Doyle (5/2), Good As Hell (3/1), The Dara Man (3/1), Jack Holiday (5/1), Mica Malpic (7/1), Butterflyvespiere (7/1), Kildorrery (12/1)

BUTTERFLYVESPIERE matched the pick of her hurdles form when second at Tramore a month ago and the assessor has taken a big chance with her mark. Good A Hell would have won had she negotiated the last fence at Wexford and is feared most, ahead of The Dara Man.
