Forecasts

Granpa Ger (10/3), Getaway Henry (5/1), Ballycommon Chapel (6/1), Romella (8/1), Baby Chou (8/1), Fire Coral (9/1), Mastermacblack (11/1), Blackstone Cliff (12/1), Mullins Cross (12/1), Ganderstown (14/1), Fairytale New York (14/1), Kate Ill Know (16/1), Copper Coast (18/1), Longhouse Star (20/1), Surviving Murmansk (22/1), Tell Her Nothing (50/1), Kp's Ladyofknock (80/1)

GRANPA GER really caught the eye when fourth in a female riders' event at Wexford last time and with a fully-fledged rider back in the saddle, he can confirm himself to be well treated. Ballycommon Chapel could do with jumping a tad more fluently but she's a danger, along with recent course winner Getaway Henry.
