Forecasts

Smallcraftwarning (7/2), Onebrightbluerose (9/2), Corkbeg (5/1), Only A Dollar (5/1), Guest Star (8/1), Granpa Ger (9/1), Voice Of Reason (10/1), Dontgowithjoe (11/1), Go Gill Go (12/1), Shaboozee (16/1), Arthur's Victory (20/1), Mega Speculator (20/1), Ricky Langford (22/1), Close Enough (25/1), Jaadil (25/1), Midnight Eagle (28/1), Midnight Eugene (28/1), Lady Leanora (66/1), Glaoinn An Airgead (66/1)

This is wide open so it could pay to side with GRANPA GER who didn't take to chasing but reverts to hurdles here off a lenient mark and can capitalise at the chief expense of Joseph O'Brien's handicap debutant Shaboozee who appeals as a likely improver. Smallcraftwarning, Midnight Eagle and Only A Dollar can all have a say too. Voice of Reason completes the shortlist.
