Forecasts
St Cuthbert's Cave (4/6), Our Boy Rocky (9/2), Roxhill Roise (6/1), Toor Khov (10/1), Miss D Hunter (10/1), Hollow Rodger (12/1), Venturi Effect (16/1), Aurea Fortuna (20/1), Vroomvroomboo (25/1), Golden Regal (50/1), Manhattan Brook (66/1), Sky Tempest (66/1), Western Express (66/1), Shuil Na Tra (66/1), Granco Rof (66/1), Pharney Soldier (66/1), But What About Me (100/1)
Having landed a bumper at the first time of asking, ST CUTHBERT'S CAVE shaped well first time out over hurdles at Fairyhouse. He has since disappointed but, in a thin race, he's capable of opening his account this time. Our Boy Rocky is the danger on form and Roxhill Roise may yet have more to offer.
