Forecasts

The Electrical Kid (8/11), Torquay Road (4/1), Tell Us This (9/2), Seskin Flash (15/2), Sophia Rose (15/2), Boston Jury (10/1), Nakassama (20/1), Ar Nos Na Gaoithe (66/1)

THE ELECTRICAL KID sets a pretty good standard on his runner-up effort at Listowel 3 weeks ago and with the promise of more to come up in trip, he can make his experience over the larger obstacles count. Chase debutants Torquay Road and Tell Us This are feared most.
