Forecasts

Hees Dynamite (3/1), Pride Of Place (10/3), Smallcraftwarning (4/1), Warm In Gorey (6/1), Paul Collins (6/1), Garde La Peche (9/1), Sea Road Fill (11/1), Ashdale Flyer (12/1), I A Connect (20/1), Time Marches On (50/1)

If ASHDALE FLYER can reproduce the level she showed when winning in maiden company at Wexford a couple of weeks ago this opening chase mark may not be beyond her. In-form pair Pride of Place and Smallcraftwarning, a course winner last month, rate obvious dangers.
