Forecasts

The Blaggard (7/2), Mount Mandela (5/1), Polly Poppins (5/1), Halla Paroiste (11/2), Spinola Bay (6/1), Shantou Princess (6/1), Truckers Cruising (9/1), Finnicky Filly (12/1), King In Love (12/1), Shining Silver (33/1), Kathy Choice (50/1), Fortuna Lora (100/1), Demanding Gerry (125/1)

THE BLAGGARD could have more to offer on the back of his eye-catching fourth at Listowel recently and gets the vote. Gordon Elliott's Spinola Bay has the potential to leave his Roscommon hurdle debut run behind and is second choice ahead of last month's course fourth Polly Poppins.
