Forecasts

Church Mountain (5/1), Skontonovski (6/1), Spring Collection (13/2), Starting Monday (7/1), Rock Etoile (15/2), Thrifty Of Digby (8/1), Campari Soda (10/1), Drop The Dip (10/1), Feature This (12/1), Eastern Capital (14/1), Mark's One (16/1), Chimeric (22/1), Super Over (22/1), Seas And Oceans (25/1), Charlie Brow'n (25/1), Lady Montse (40/1), Talking Tough (50/1)

CHURCH MOUNTAIN shaped quite well in a Naas race last time that looks solid form so he might prove the answer to the first division of this 1m handicap. Skontonovski has remained in form since his Fairyhouse win in July and is second choice ahead of former C&D scorer Chimeric.
