Forecasts

Stay Gold (1/1), Empire Succes (7/2), William Butler (4/1), Strong Link (9/2), Coumeenoole (5/1), Chiefs Kingdom (9/1), Additional Time (28/1), Plomeur (33/1), Diamboy Des Carres (40/1), Tamara Jane (50/1), Revolut Ned (66/1), Beau Coup (100/1), Fancy A Tipple (125/1), Christy's Chief (150/1), Jetovango (150/1), Townhill Lass (200/1), Heather View (200/1)

WILLIAM BUTLER is making steady progress over hurdles and Gordon Elliott's charge might be able to improve past Stay Gold, a good second in handicap company at Punchestown last time. Empire Succes ran well in a similar race at Cork last time and may prove best of the remainder.
