Forecasts

Cinammon Roll (7/4), Full Confession (5/2), Mavetherave (3/1), Keep Kool Coko (11/2), Jackson Lamb (11/2), Sugar Cookie (15/2), Whiskey On Ice (20/1), The Goose's Acre (33/1), Maroto (50/1), Imperial Miss (66/1), Hickeys Hill (100/1), Tinker Hill (125/1), Drop The Dip (150/1), Never Present (250/1), Niamhie (300/1)

Point winner CINAMMON ROLL left his Rules debut form well behind when landing a bumper by a wide margin here last month and he is taken to make a winning start in this sphere. Fellow point/bumper winner Full Confession is feared most ahead of Mavetherave, who looks the pick of those with hurdles experience ahead of Keep Kool Coko and Full Confession's stablemate Sugar Cookie.
