Forecasts

Toto Too (1/2), Royal Hollow (15/8), Cracklinn Warrior (2/1), Jekiki (10/1), Chosen Templar (14/1), Jet Setting Jim (16/1), Fast Felix (22/1), Lummi Island (28/1), Patrol Leader (28/1), Making My Way Back (50/1), Tubberrobe (66/1), Magical Lass (66/1)

TOTO TOO travelled smoothly and came clear of the remainder when runner-up at Galway on debut and, with improvement likely, he looks the one to beat for all that Willie Mullins' newcomer Cracklinn Warrior has the obvious potential to be above average. Royal Hollow is also considered.
