Forecasts

Inthenickoftime (11/5), Charlies Pride (7/2), Andyourbirdcansing (7/1), Aliunde (15/2), Baltinglass Hill (9/1), Must Be Dreaming (12/1), Pahlavi (14/1), Luimneach (14/1), Prince Of Air (16/1), Elmount (22/1), Red Striker (25/1), Wajaaha (33/1), Dreamz (33/1)

Verdict

INTHENICKOFTIME was having only his second start over fences when a promising third at Killarney last month and is given a chance to build on that promise. Charlies Pride also looks capable of better on the back of his opening chase third at Tipperary and is second choice ahead of Must Be Dreaming.
