Forecasts

Mister Pessimistic (11/4), Mullaghgloss (3/1), Mahon Falls (5/1), Saint Clovis (13/2), Greenhills Of Cork (8/1), Grey Jude (17/2), We Be Grand (14/1), Lord Of The Locke (14/1), Seanphobal Dream (16/1), Mc Swagger (16/1), Danny The Champ (28/1), Glin Road Boy (50/1), Maxicourt (100/1), Never Late (100/1), Blackwater River (100/1), Poetic Licence (100/1), Bayswater Bloom (150/1), Believe Again (200/1), Wild Wild Wind (300/1)

MAHON FALLS made a bright start for Willie Mullins at Wexford and gets the vote in this big-field bumper. Saint Clovis showed plenty himself first time up at Galway and can improve, while point winner Mister Pessimistic has to be respected.
