Forecasts

Midnight It Is (7/2), Leish Oscars Son (5/1), Cave Court (6/1), Dancing Jeremy (6/1), Pepperocco (6/1), A Mere Bagatelle (8/1), Kilashee (9/1), Likable Chancer (10/1), Rebel Waltz (10/1), Cahirdown Boy (12/1), Chainofconsequence (16/1), Le Malin (22/1), Filon D'Oudairies (25/1), Clonmeen (28/1), I Am Rocco (28/1), Neptunus Equester (33/1), Punters Poet (50/1)

MIDNIGHT IT IS has a chase in him off this sort of mark judged on his latest Wexford third and is perhaps a more solid option than Cave Court, who is well treated judged on his recent hurdle exploits but does need to prove he's as good over fences. Pepperocco, who was a place in front of the selection at Wexford, and last week's Ballinrobe second Kilashee are others to consider.
