Forecasts

Bleu De Vassy (4/5), Dorans Law (3/1), Will Wilde (13/2), Locorotondo (13/2), Tankardstown Diva (8/1), Drumgill (16/1), Donnie Devito (20/1), Mister Vic (22/1), His Nibs (33/1), Rising Dust (80/1), Keeptheoldmanout (150/1)

BLEU DE VASSY showed plenty in a point and was picked up by top connections for a hefty sum on the back of it, so he's an obvious choice to make a winning Rules debut. Dorans Law is the obvious danger and Mister Vic boasts solid place claims.
