Forecasts

Magic Sadler (5/2), Lonesome Boatman (5/2), Fountain House (4/1), Milan Forth (9/2), West Of Carrig (11/2), Castle Croiuil (25/1), The Last Minute (28/1), Getaway King (33/1), Mickthesoldier (50/1), Keeptheoldmanout (125/1), Kingston Coole (125/1), Jollie Cosmos (150/1), Goodbyemick (150/1), Townhill Lass (150/1)

Multiple point winner LONESOME BOATMAN showed useful form on his chase debut/belated return to Rules when third in a hunter at Punchestown and should take the beating. West of Carrig and Fountain House are feared most.
