Forecasts

May Call You Back (2/1), Battle Of Ridgeway (6/1), Banjaxed (6/1), Big Stage (13/2), Leave In Secret (13/2), Tell Us This (10/1), Rockbrook (11/1), Splashing Out (12/1), In The Trenches (16/1), Individualiste (28/1), Mount Frisco (33/1), Ferdia (100/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and Willie Mullins' thriving mare MAY CALL YOU BACK is fancied to bag a quick hat-trick back chasing. Down Royal scorer Splashing Out is next on the list with Battle of Ridgeway and Tell Us This also in the picture.
