Forecasts

Delta Force (11/8), Cause For Comment (11/4), Chanceawetmorning (17/2), Order Of The Dance (10/1), High Court Cave (12/1), Mount Mandela (16/1), Kaikoura (18/1), Amina (22/1), Bonnebosq (28/1), Knowing Me (28/1), Jack Booner (33/1), Blenheim Lake (66/1), At The Wings (100/1), Fool's Errand (125/1)

Those with racecourse experience don't set the bar too high so CAUSE FOR COMMENT is taken to make a winning start for Willie Mullins, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Declan Queally has had a couple of bumper winners this season so his debutant Knowing Me is also interesting, particularly if the market speaks for him. Delta Force and Chanceawetmorning look best of those who have seen the track.
