Forecasts

Keilah (3/1), Struck By Churchil (11/2), Barrogstown Girl (6/1), Harseva (7/1), Reclaim (8/1), Jazz Forever (17/2), Slieve Bearnagh (9/1), Someone's Wish (11/1), Rampage (11/1), Forlio (12/1), Forbidden Planet (16/1), Zippy Rocket (18/1), Comfort Line (20/1), Lucky Queen (22/1), Simpson's Paradox (25/1), Dynamite Defense (25/1), Hijo De La Luna (28/1), The Mpex Kid (33/1), Nosey Anna (40/1), Time Out (66/1), Arabian King (100/1)

SLIEVE BEARNAGH has been on a roll over hurdles this summer and can take advantage of his lowly mark in this sphere back at the scene of his win last autumn. Struck By Churchil is another who is respected on the back of a recent hurdle success. Harseva also makes the shortlist along with Paul Flynn pair Jazz Forever and Forlio.
