Forecasts

Hees Dynamite (9/2), Vaureal (9/2), Dream In The Park (11/2), Ballagh Star (6/1), Smallcraftwarning (13/2), Midnight Moonshine (13/2), Tell Nobody Nothin (7/1), Low Style (8/1), Shantou Show (12/1), Old Soul (12/1), Carlas Big Jim (16/1), Slotty Dotty (16/1), Hascoeur Clermont (16/1), Baldur's Gate (20/1), Stormy Judge (22/1), Quornofamonday (22/1), Bigbraveboy (22/1), Eddies Pride (40/1)

LOW STYLE took a step forward when second on his handicap debut over fences at Navan in February and, provided that he is ready to roll following a break, the 8-y-o may well be the answer. Next on the list is Dream In The Park, who should be sharper following his spin over hurdles during the summer and he's by no means exposed as a chaser. Smallcraftwarning is third choice, while Midnight Moonshine and Vaureal are others to consider.
