Forecasts

Tomas O Maille (7/2), Good World (4/1), Battle Away (6/1), Battle Of Ridgeway (13/2), Song For My Father (9/1), Umndeni (10/1), Warm In Gorey (12/1), Appian Way (12/1), Uncle Gerhard (12/1), Mahlers Cove (20/1), Maciver (33/1), Val The Man (40/1), Vocito (66/1), Celebrating Katie (66/1)

TOMAS O MAILLE has been in consistent form over hurdles and seems a likely type to take to the larger obstacles, so he gets the tentative vote in a tricky contest. Fellow chasing debutant Battle of Ridgeway is a danger and Battle Away should take a hand if she can back up her latest effort.
