Forecasts

Folly Master (11/10), Brucejack (7/2), Bocelli's Voice (9/2), Lough Nigara (10/1), Gaspard Du Seuil (12/1), Dragon's Pass (12/1), Donacheady Gale (14/1), Sea Road Fill (22/1), Duffys Getaway (22/1), Walk In The Dark (33/1), Duncarrig (40/1), Perfect Pupil (100/1), Fort Randall (125/1)

FOLLY MASTER landed a gamble in good style at Punchestown 5 weeks ago and this winning pointer can follow up on chase bow. Gaspard du Seuil and Donacheady Gale have the best form over hurdles but they need to prove they retain their ability.
