Forecasts

Tankardstown Diva (9/2), General Hubble (9/2), College Causeway (6/1), Jimli's Cave (8/1), Hit The Frame (8/1), Robyndeglory (10/1), Rust To Riches (10/1), Game And Glory (10/1), Greenway Machine (11/1), Cullenwaine (12/1), Riggs (28/1)

GENERAL HUBBLE had his winning run ended faced with an insufficient test of stamina at Fairyhouse in November but can resume winning ways back from a break and returned to a more suitable trip. College Causeway left his chase bow behind when second under this rider at Down Royal last month and rates the main threat ahead of Rust To Riches, who made a decent start for this yard when third in the same race.
