Forecasts

Gold Haven (4/1), Junot (4/1), Tullyhogue Fort (9/2), Kilmacurkin (5/1), Crowsatedappletart (13/2), Fr Gilligansvoyge (12/1), Kilashee (14/1), Rewrite The Script (14/1), Ennemi Public (16/1), Fly De Megaudais (16/1), Coastguard Lady (16/1), Kate Ill Know (18/1), Out Of The Park (18/1), Rule Of June (18/1), Wild As Fire (20/1), Katzoff (20/1), Filon D'Oudairies (20/1), Clyde The Glide (33/1), Gendarme (33/1)

GOLD HAVEN left her hurdles form behind at the first attempt over fences when second at Tramore a month ago and on that evidence, this mark could well be within range. Junot was better than ever over hurdles on Saturday so has to be feared, along with KIlmacurkin.
