Forecasts

Sea Music (11/10), Bob The Builder (3/1), Our Girl Sal (5/1), Gino Drummer Boy (11/2), In A Little While (10/1), Mont Beuvray (10/1), Ivy Hall (20/1), Cosmic Blizzard (25/1), Marco Rock (25/1), Thatshalfthebattle (40/1), Rewrite The Script (66/1), As You Do (100/1)

Having shaped well on his recent Rules debut in a Galway bumper, SEA MUSIC is taken make a winning start over hurdles. The 5-y-o was runner-up on his sole completed start between the flags, which suggests that he will have no problem with this trip. Our Girl Sal is feared most ahead of Bob The Builder and Gino Drummer Boy.
