Forecasts

Bukhill (2/1), Mac's Xpress (11/4), Artemis Angel (5/1), Get It Right (7/1), The Mass Path (15/2), Nevermindestranger (10/1), Watergrangedreamer (25/1), Rohans Successor (33/1), Hees Dynamite (50/1), Kalsman (66/1), Split The Pound (66/1), Ozark Thunder (80/1), Zahina (100/1), Glenabbey (100/1), Knockwilliambridge (125/1), Righteous Ruane (150/1)

BUKHILL made a sound start to his hurdle career for new trainer Peter Fahey at Punchestown last month and looks the way to go here with improvement on the cards. Jessica Harrington's Mac's Xpress has been given a short break since a lesser run in May and can bounce back and provide the chief threat ahead of the selection's stablemate Artemis Angel.
