Forecasts

Spring Meadow (2/1), Rexem (7/2), Ahead Of The Posse (4/1), Jerandme (9/2), Woodstream Lad (9/2), Oh So Charming (6/1), Nitty Gritty (10/1), Boston Jury (12/1), Cafe Con Leche (16/1), Anysignofhim (25/1)

WOODSTREAM LAD ran no sort of race over fences at Downpatrick last time, but he produced a career-best effort when scoring on his most recent outing in this sphere and earns the narrow vote dropped in grade. Rexem and Jerandme are a couple of others who could go well, with the former having shown clear signs of a revival when third in a handicap chase at Killeggan recently.
