Forecasts

Will Do (2/5), Silver Gazette (5/1), Just Three (8/1), Rowdy Romeo (10/1), Insouciant Dallier (22/1), Ivy Hall (50/1), Rockon Henry (150/1)

SILVER GAZETTE was just touched off by a decent type on debut for Andrew Slattery at Tramore in August and was unlucky not to finish closer at Listowel the following month. He is taken to belatedly open his hurdles account. Will Do landed a Cork bumper when last seen during the spring and was a good second on his previous start in this sphere. Gordon Elliott's charge is feared most ahead of the promising Just Three.
