Forecasts

Littlefoot (11/8), Suttons Hill (16/5), Chrisco (5/1), Valsorpresa (13/2), Fancy A Cosmo (15/2), Master Splinter (10/1), Chiefs Kingdom (11/1), Glory Liss (22/1), Sixhandsinmypocket (50/1), Sarah Beara (50/1), U Asking Me (80/1), Coco Lightning (125/1), Don't Tell Tiny (150/1), Lucky Two (200/1), Iguis (300/1)

LITTLEFOOT made a promising start in this sphere when runner-up in a big field at Limerick and this useful bumper sort can get off the mark at the chief expense of Valsorpresa, who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Down Royal and remains with potential. Chrisco and Suttons Hill appeal as the pick of the rest and can fight it out for minor honours.
