Forecasts

O'Moore Park (7/4), Maxi Mac Gold (4/1), Raglan Road (9/2), The Electrical Kid (5/1), Lucky Lyreen (6/1), Bloomhill (10/1), Maroto (10/1), Oakley (20/1), Shades Of Tara (50/1), Hurry Up Flower (66/1), Path To The Moon (100/1), Ballyeden Close (100/1), Fort Randall (100/1)

Willie Mullins looks to hold a strong hand and his O'MOORE PARK is fancied to build on a promising debut hurdling third here after a long absence and score. Stablemate Maroto is not without interest either starting out in this sphere, with Maxi Mac Gold, Lucky Lyreen and Raglan Road in the mix for minor honours.
