Forecasts

My Great Mate (8/11), Rocky's Diamond (9/4), Waterford Whispers (4/1), Timmy Tuesday (13/2), More Coko (12/1), Addragoole (14/1), Greatness Awaits (50/1), Tonaghneave Well (50/1), Elle Klassycco (150/1)

MY GREAT MATE's achievements over hurdles do not measure up to what Rocky's Diamond accomplished in that sphere, but he made a positive start to his chase career when second over this C&D at the end of July and, at the likely prices, he is an appealing alternative to Declan Queally's charge. Rocky's Diamond will naturally be a big threat if his jumping passes the test and he is the clear main danger ahead of Waterford Whispers.
