Forecasts

Net Boy (4/6), Kamikaz Du Plessis (6/1), Noticebox (6/1), Nitty Gritty (6/1), Eye On The Ball (10/1), Western Princess (12/1), The Goose's Acre (22/1), Don Bosco (22/1), Come Home Sonny (33/1), Eyeeye (40/1), Hometomayo (50/1), Bella Lu (100/1), Mane Attraction (125/1), Kushkame (150/1), Eurielle (200/1), Kilooney Hill (200/1)

NET BOY stepped up on his previous hurdles form when third in a big-field at Fairyhouse last month and he will take plenty of stopping, provided he is able to at least match that here. There should be improvement in Noticebox and he should make his presence felt, while it will be interesting to see what the market makes of newcomer Eye On The Ball and he is respected, along with the Willie Mullins-trained Western Princess.
