Forecasts

Meehall (13/8), Decimation (9/2), Aurea Fortuna (7/1), Carrig Carol (17/2), Avec Espoir (9/1), Galon De Vauzelle (10/1), Robinstown (14/1), Sweet Will (14/1), Kadys Dirha (16/1), C'Est Quelqu'un (18/1), Dragon Rock (22/1)

MEEHALL upped his game and displayed a good attitude when scoring at Killarney last time and the bulk of his rivals have something to prove, so he gets the nod over Avec Espoir, who is a huge threat if able to replicate the form of his recent hurdling success.
