Forecasts

Quinta Do Lago (6/5), Mont Star (7/2), Combs (5/1), Ole Ole (6/1), Glen To Glen (15/2), Hardy Stuff (12/1), Mcloughlin (40/1), Hawkesbury Legend (50/1), Boogie Inthejungle (66/1), Rua Mor (80/1), Dream Angel (80/1), General Grant (100/1), Good Thoughts (125/1), Shakita (200/1), Antoine De Paris (300/1)

OLE OLE had subsequent winners behind when third on his Clairefontaine debut in the spring and can make a successful start for Gavin Cromwell. Joseph O'Brien has won this 3 times since 2016 and his useful Flat performer Glen To Glen could leave last week's Navan hurdle debut behind. Unpenalisied Cork winner Quinta Do Lago is also shortlisted along with Combs.
