Forecasts

Young Churchill (6/4), Autumn Twist (11/4), Day Trader (4/1), Woodview Lad (13/2), Gerrys Wish (12/1), Meteor Storm (20/1), Lodge Man (28/1), Tatateo (28/1), Tremaine (33/1), Elusive Ogie (40/1), The Eggler (80/1), Breezethroughlife (100/1), Niigata (100/1), Brandyandportpaddy (150/1), Uno Me I Like My T (150/1), Synchronize (200/1)

YOUNG CHURCHILL may have been undone by the testing conditions at Naas last time and is taken to open his account over hurdles here. Woodview Lad and Day Trader are feared most.
