Forecasts

Sam Magee (2/1), Gino Drummer Boy (10/3), Zolpharine (9/2), Duncarrig (11/2), Perzzini (8/1), Lookondebrightside (10/1), The Shantou King (10/1), Toonagh Warrior (12/1), Rock Ya Boy Ya (14/1), Hob's Angel (33/1), Younowhatimean (50/1), Ladybela (50/1), Divilabother (50/1), Andyourbirdcansing (66/1), Applicationofcash (100/1), Katesbridge (125/1), Castle Arms Casa (200/1)

ZOLPHARINE has shown progressive form in bumpers, so he makes plenty of appeal now going hurdling in an ordinary-looking contest. Sam Magee sets the standard on the pick of his from and is sure to play a leading role if a first-time tongue strap has a positive effect, while Gino Drummer Boy is another to consider.
