Forecasts

Early Arrival (4/1), Downtherefordancin (4/1), Penny Jar (9/2), Queen Jane (5/1), Glendine Billy (10/1), No Fussing (14/1), Mercury Mission (14/1), Jack Du Large (14/1), Garcon Doux (16/1), Centurion Steel (18/1), Wild As Fire (20/1), Smitty Bacall (25/1), Woodie Wango (33/1), Down The Park (33/1), Beggars Rock (40/1)

Course-winner EARLY ARRIVAL signalled he's ready to go in again when runner-up in a big-field Clonmel handicap last time so looks the way to go. Gavin Cromwell's top-weight Downtherefordancin heads the list of dangers on the back of his good Cork fourth with in-form duo Penny Jar and Mercury Mission also firmly in the picture.
