Forecasts

Kudasheva (10/3), Sea Aster (7/2), Sam Magee (4/1), Ossifer Hops (5/1), Thunder (13/2), Clifftop (15/2), Andys Flame (8/1), Caesar Rock (9/1), Givehimthehonour (11/1), Cozone (12/1), Solly Attwell (12/1), Noble Talent (16/1), Heyjoe De Kerser (22/1), Fathom Two (50/1)

The betting should reveal plenty but Henry de Bromhead's point scorer SAM MAGEE arrives in winning form over hurdles at Wexford and is taken to go in at the first time of asking in this sphere. Clifftop has the form to play a big part and is next on the list, while both Sea Aster and Solly Attwell can also have a say in a competitive event.
