Forecasts

Mont St Michel (7/4), Gangster Granny (10/3), Fighter (10/3), Viyanni (8/1), Bukhill (9/1), Winning Smut (11/1), Apache Eagle (20/1), Tullyhogue Fort (100/1), Starlight Legacy (100/1)

GANGSTER GRANNY holds the clear edge on form so is taken to gain her first victory at the chief expense of fair hurdles scorer Bukhill who could build on his recent Fairyhouse eighth. Viyanni and Winning Smut appeal as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.
