Forecasts

Darkened (5/2), Lakota Blue (3/1), Must Meet Cecil (4/1), Routine Excellence (5/1), Voice Of Reason (7/1), Knockaneleigh Girl (7/1), Gamigin (9/1), Amber Point (28/1), Lucky Storm (33/1), Sing A New Song (200/1)

ROUTINE EXCELLENCE posted his best effort for a while when fourth over fences at Leopardstown last month and he has strong claims returned to hurdles at this level, particularly with this drop back in trip a plus. Must Meet Cecil has to be respected, despite returning from a 17-month absence, while Lakota Blue is best of the rest.
