Forecasts

Unknown Entity (1/1), Colcannon (10/3), Attaho (12/1), Sixandahalf (14/1), Pearl Of Grange (14/1), Putapoundinthejar (16/1), Broderick (18/1), Sutherland (20/1), Balko D'ange (20/1), Spinola Bay (20/1), Sinngali (20/1), Burrows Drive (28/1), Knockduff (28/1), Miss Corby (33/1), Little Trilby (33/1), Endless Pursuit (40/1), Rural Link (66/1), Lauro's Legend (66/1), Interchangeable (80/1), Clever One (80/1)

UNKNOWN ENTITY is of automatic interest given that he went close on his sole start between the flags and makes his debut for the all-conquering Willie Mullins yard. The hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Colcannon and Putapoundinthejar are most appealing of those with experience in this sphere, while Balko D'ange has also show ability. There are several others to note in the betting, not least Attaho and Sutherland.
