Forecasts

Undeniable Alibi (9/4), Champagne Mahler (5/2), Kiltealy Park (11/2), Millstream Lady (13/2), Bleu D'enfer (9/1), Starman (12/1), Ballycallan King (12/1), St Faz (14/1), Pitwood Road (22/1), Big Island (28/1), Due Course (33/1), Connors Cross (40/1), Global Export (40/1), Oneforgonzo (40/1), Our Boy Rocky (50/1), Hillsdale (66/1), Whateys Quest (100/1), Crecora Hills (100/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and UNDENIABLE ALIBI is fancied to build on his promising chasing debut fourth at Punchestown and get off the mark in this sphere. Bleu d'Enfer also has the form to play a part, while Starman and Champagne Mahler also enter calculations.
