Forecasts

Scatchwah (6/4), Squire Danagher (11/4), Come On The Lads (5/1), Dawn Rider (7/1), Sea Wave (12/1), Miqdaad (16/1), Wrecking Ball Paul (20/1), Belleplaine (22/1), The Mighty One (25/1), Lucky Question (25/1), Chopsticks (25/1), Paper Doll (40/1), Little Empire (40/1), Nation At War (50/1), Dalmatic (100/1), Second Girl (125/1), Becausedellasaidso (200/1)

COME ON THE LADS ran with credit on debut at Leopardstown 82 days ago and, with cheekpieces fitted, he can find enough improvement to get off the mark at the second attempt. Squire Danagher has achieved slightly more than the selection but is more exposed, while Scatchwah can take a hand if he's ready to go after 8 months off.
