Forecasts

Angelsworknovrtime (5/2), Red Ball Of Fire (3/1), Nodoubtaboutthat (7/2), Purse Price (5/1), Delante (11/1), We Got This (14/1), Eve Moneypenny (14/1), Karen's Gift (16/1), Nelly's Money (22/1)

Plenty in with a squeak but NODOUBTABOUTTHAT confirmed the promise of her reappearance when third at Downpatrick 3 weeks ago and having eased a shade further in the weights, Shane Crawley's 8-y-o gets the nod to notch career victory number 3. Eve Moneypenny caused a 50/1 shock when making a successful start to life under Rules at Punchestown recently, so she's put forward as the main danger, ahead of Red Ball of Fire and We Got This.
