Forecasts

Rising Dust (9/2), Walkonthebriteside (9/2), Tilloughna (8/1), Safran Et Bleu (9/1), Sheephaven Flyer (9/1), Whiskey Lady (12/1), Morrie In D Quarry (12/1), Man Of The House (12/1), Presenting Cody (14/1), Rewrite The Script (16/1), Toucan Do (16/1), Dear Ryta (18/1), Mrs Biddle (22/1), Signora Di Milano (28/1), Ordered Lives (33/1), Delta Melody (33/1), Annie Questions (40/1), Getaway Henry (40/1)

RISING DUST posted his best effort yet when runner-up at Punchestown recently and he is taken to go one better here, perhaps at the chief expense of Sheephaven Flyer, who is 0-9 under Rules but resumes in this sphere on an appealing mark. Morrie In D Quarry and potential improvers Dear Ryta and Safran Et Bleu are also shortlisted.
