Forecasts

Tommies Call (7/2), Klassman (4/1), Delias Pet (9/2), Granpa Ger (9/2), Kilmurry Jj (5/1), Dee's Getaway (10/1), Coffeys Forge (12/1), Comeonarchie (16/1), Fill The Tank (16/1), The Virginian (18/1), Not My Problem (20/1), L'Un Deux Trois (20/1), Robindevidastar (22/1), Credit Control (25/1), Tullamore Lucy (28/1), Sonny Fella (33/1), Ragin Cajun (33/1), Chasing Chances (40/1), Appian Way (40/1), Zebos Beanos (80/1), Barney Van Winkle (100/1)

KILMURRY JJ ran as well as he's ever done over hurdles when third at Fairyhouse recently and is taken to build on that and deny Delias Pet the hat-trick. Klassman was third when Tim Doyle's mare gained the first of her 2 wins and also makes the shortlist along with recent Fairyhouse scorer Tommies Call.
