Forecasts

Harry's Legacy (9/4), Mon Coeur (11/4), Long Gone (10/3), God Of Thunder (7/1), Doctor Glide (15/2), Icare D'aubrelle (8/1), Jazz Forever (12/1), My Mate Tony (40/1), Tomas O Maille (50/1), Taketwotoone (100/1)

It could be woth giving another chance to ICARE D'AUBRELLE, who may appreciate the quicker ground having encountered testing conditions at Naas and Navan on his last two starts. It's too soon to forget the promise he showed when third in a 20-runner Cork miaden on his hurdles debut in December. Long Gone is another who could benefit from the better ground and she merits respect, along with Mon Coeur and Harry's Legacy.
