Forecasts

Littlebiggie (4/1), Ballycashin (4/1), Dorans Law (13/2), Champella (7/1), Kells Priory (7/1), Anyway (8/1), Toto Too (10/1), Early Arrival (16/1), Gold Speed (18/1), Futurum Regem (18/1), Peaches And Cream (22/1), Real Steel (28/1), Falco Blitz (33/1)

FUTURUM REGEM remains potentially on a good mark over hurdles and his recent efforts on the Flat suggests he's still in form. Dorans Law arrives on the back of a career-best win at Ballinrobe and is next best ahead of Littlebiggie.
