Forecasts

Rudy Catrail (3/1), Fr Gilligansvoyge (9/2), Kilmurry Jj (5/1), Tullyhogue Fort (11/2), Tech Talk (6/1), Ennemi Public (9/1), Attitash (14/1), Mick Charlie (14/1), Warreedy (14/1), Definiteadare (16/1), Double Windsor (16/1), Greenway Machine (20/1), Loughaneala Og (25/1), Chief Seattle (25/1), Justakeg (66/1)

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and FR GILLIGANSVOYGE is fancied to go one better than his recent very good second at Kilbeggan. Tullyhogue Fort rates the main danger now back in this sphere, although chasing newcomer Kilmurry JJ can't be discounted given his fairly useful hurdling form.
