Forecasts

Linden Arden (5/1), Tell Me This (11/2), Coastal World (7/1), Emily In Paris (15/2), Littlefoot (8/1), Boskill Borden (8/1), Kilkee Bay (9/1), Missus Beeton (11/1), Slieve Carran (11/1), Tullyveery Lad (11/1), Hypersonic Missile (12/1), Ballybrack Wood (14/1), Good World (16/1), Wild Shot (22/1), Storm Mahler (40/1), Milanaway (50/1), Fill The Tank (66/1), Bronson In Blue (125/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but LINDEN ARDEN rates the pick of these weights on the back of his impressive chasing success here so gets the vote. Course-scorer Littlefoot heads the list of dangers with Emily In Paris, Tullyveery Lad and Coastal World all in the mix too.
