Forecasts

The Banger Doyle (9/4), McGrath From Clune (5/2), Ricky Bobby (3/1), Skinnider (17/2), Derry Lad (16/1), Secret Rock (18/1), Pride Of Place (18/1), Bestaline (18/1), Billy Lee Swagger (20/1), Cregane Ned (25/1), Moulane West (28/1), Cafe Con Leche (40/1)

RICKY BOBBY returned to form back over hurdles last time and he's well treated on past exploits, so he gets the vote over last-time-out winner McGrath From Clune, who reverts to the smaller obstacles on a handy mark. The Banger Doyle is also considered.
