Forecasts

The Passing Wife (11/10), Portcammon (11/4), Delta Force (5/1), Pure Logic (6/1), Luckinthecity (7/1), Live Aid (8/1), Fillusin (12/1), Eaglewood (20/1), Hesthebeesknees (33/1), Dream Shaper (50/1)

PURE LOGIC only just failed to reel in Eaglewood at Tipperary last month and can reverse the placings on 7 lb better terms. Willie Mullins saddles a couple penalised winners who are returning from a lay-off, with Luckinthecity looking the number 1 on jockey bookings.
