Forecasts

Gringo D'aubrelle (5/2), Decimation (9/2), Bigbraveboy (6/1), God Help Us (6/1), Hitthehayson (13/2), Attaboyarchie (10/1), Love Like This (10/1), So They Tell Me (12/1), Baldur's Gate (14/1), Duffys Getaway (25/1), Where's Frankie (25/1), Zefiro Dodville (50/1)

DECIMATION reacted well to blinkers when second at Limerick over Christmas and could prove the answer if the headgear continues to have a positive effect. Gringo d'Aubrelle is 7 lb lower than when scoring over hurdles last month so has the potential to be a big threat if a recent fall at Punchestown hasn't dented his confidence. So They Tell Me won a hurdle off this mark and is one to note in the betting now handicapping for the first time over fences.
