Forecasts

Watch The Weather (1/1), Ballybawn Belter (3/1), Ceroc (7/1), Clifftop (15/2), Sam Magee (9/1), Pacini (10/1), Jazzy Matty (14/1), Aurea Fortuna (14/1), Howya Luveen (20/1), Dawn Escape (40/1), Cross Court (100/1)

BALLYBAWN BELTER shaped as if still in form over hurdles at Leopardstown when last seen and, if she takes to chasing, she should have the measure of Watch The Weather and Clifftop, who have both achieved a fairly useful level already in this sphere.
