Forecasts

Folly Master (2/1), Themanintheanorak (7/2), Lough Nigara (9/2), Wakey Wakey Man (13/2), Moylussa (17/2), Low Style (10/1), Keiths Boy (12/1), Cathryns Ruby (14/1), Elusive Guy (16/1), Miss Mini Bee (20/1), Sarandon (22/1), Sock It To Me (25/1), Shanroe Nancy (33/1), Patsy's Pride (66/1)

THEMANINTHEANORAK made a very pleasing start to his handicap career when second here in November and this bumper winner has a very workable mark to exploit. Lough Nigara was better than ever at Punchestown so has to be feared, along with Folly Master.
