Forecasts

Lombron (1/2), Rath Gaul Boy (13/8), Western Fold (7/2), Backmersackme (5/1), Killaney King (11/2), Dancingondaceiling (6/1), Maidenstreetprince (17/2), Mighty Jeremy (40/1), Rockbrook (40/1), Lady Bresil (66/1), Tumuch (80/1), Fromquintotulla (250/1)

RATH GAUL BOY made a pleasing chase debut at Punchestown last month and is the choice of Paul Townend. He gets the nod. Dancingondaceiling and Lombron are feared most.
