Forecasts

Givago (2/1), Gentle And Kind (5/2), Getaway Charlie (10/3), Patricks Hill (4/1), Skradin (9/2), Ringdufferin (6/1), Lake Winnipesaukee (7/1), Tullybawn (15/2), Noble Blue (11/1), Mo Chruinne (33/1), Dolly Watkins (50/1), Bless The Moon (66/1), Tullamore Lucy (80/1), Suile Ban (80/1), Road To The Weir (100/1), Great Rainbow (150/1), Lady Lilly (200/1), Hardy Buck (200/1), Force Of The Moon (250/1)

GENTLE AND KIND made an encouraging belated Rules debut when runner-up at Kilbeggan last month and is the percentage call to back up that effort and go one better. Tullybawn and Skradin head the opposition.
