Forecasts

Glendine Billy (16/5), If You Let Me (7/2), Minella Buddy (4/1), Knockaneleigh Girl (9/2), Andyourbirdcansing (11/1), Lynchy Boy (16/1), Manfredi (16/1), Camino Mission (20/1), Fairytale New York (20/1), Golden Nugget (25/1), Manatee Du Brizais (25/1), Dreamings Free (33/1), West Clare (40/1), Supreme Authority (50/1), Daly Pursuit (50/1), Battle Roar (100/1)

If LYNCHY BOY can reproduce the form of his Clonmel hurdle debut fourth he might prove the answer to this opener. Gavin Cromwell bumper recruit If You Let Me is a possible threat if taking to his new discipline. Andyourbirdcansing is another who could be in the shake-up, while the booking of Rachael Blackmore for Minella Buddy catches the eye.
