Forecasts

Cheerful Chap (10/3), She's A Fine Wine (4/1), Big Island (6/1), Macinamillion (13/2), Nt Field Minnesota (15/2), The Little Yank (15/2), Spellacy's Cross (11/1), Kilashee (12/1), Freddie Robdal (14/1)

Henry de Bromhead looks to hold a strong hand here and his SHE'S A FINE WINE is fancied to build on an encouraging recent return over hurdles at Punchestown and gain a first chasing win at the chief expense of stablemate and recent course scorer Freddie Robdal. Spellacy's Cross, Macinamillion and Cheerful Chap ought to be in the shake-up too in this competitive handicap.
