Forecasts

Goraibhmaithagat (7/2), Zoffanien (5/1), The Enabler (7/1), Pray Tell (17/2), Krak (9/1), Cato's Revenge (9/1), Well Dressed (10/1), Addragoole (12/1), West Away (14/1), The Big Doyen (14/1), Artic Lane (16/1), Tonaghneave Well (16/1), God Of Thunder (20/1), Sequoiaspirit (22/1), Natural Look (25/1), Arctic Bresil (50/1)

This has a very open look to it, with TONAGHNEAVE WELL just about the most persuasive option back from a break for his excellent yard having posted another sound effort fitted with cheekpieces at Fairyhouse last time. Goraibhmaithagat and God of Thunder look a couple of very likely improvers, so are just 2 of many potential threats.
