Forecasts

Arcland (5/2), Sprinkles (3/1), Young Lucy (9/2), Bynx (6/1), Asisaid (6/1), Whispering Hopes (8/1), Maxwell Smart (9/1), Ballycommon Chapel (11/1), Art Of Silence (11/1), Surrey Force (12/1), Figurehead (25/1), Boomerang Bill (25/1), Share The Treasure (33/1), Hangry (33/1), Desert Of The Sea (33/1), Storm Eric (40/1), Calmafterthestorm (40/1), Royal Cave (50/1)

This is wide open but course scorer ARCLAND could prove the answer on the back of a very good Sligo second when conceding the winner first run. In-form maiden Figurehead heads the list of dangers, although the likes of Ballycommon Chapel, Asisaid and Bynx can all have a say too.
