Forecasts

Whateys Quest (11/4), Rusheen (4/1), Decimation (5/1), Starlight Cato (6/1), Brave Adam (13/2), Duffys Getaway (9/1), Muskerry Rock (10/1), Atacanter (12/1), Da Big Fella (16/1), Bearwithmenow (18/1), Quornofamonday (20/1), Soldier Of Honour (25/1), Drop The Anchor (28/1)

RUSHEEN offered something to work on sent chasing after 9 months off at Clonmel and remains on a good mark on hurdles form. Duffys Getaway and Quornofamonday should do better now handicapping and head the dangers.
