Forecasts

Someone's Wish (2/1), Baltinglass Hill (2/1), Must Be Dreaming (13/2), Ricky Langford (7/1), Itsalonglongroad (8/1), Freddie Robdal (17/2), Andyourbirdcansing (14/1), Coole Arcade (14/1), Turbo (16/1), Brog Ahaon (40/1)

SOMEONE'S WISH couldn't capitalise on a lower mark over hurdles at Navan on Sunday but he'd been in good form over fences so remains of interest back in this sphere. Andyourbirdcansing and Baltinglass Hill head the dangers.
