Forecasts

Chiefs Kingdom (11/2), Genepi George (6/1), Krabat (6/1), The Goose's Acre (15/2), Better Times (8/1), Dee's Lady (9/1), Jaynemax (9/1), Harpy Eagle (10/1), Coolboy Christy (12/1), I'm Flattered (14/1), Build A Bridge (14/1), Premier Rogue (14/1), Ahellofaman (14/1), The Dancen Kid (18/1), Fremantle Doctor (18/1), Mr Devlin (25/1), Global Skies (25/1), Dahoma (28/1), Little Boy Sivola (33/1), Danny The Champ (40/1), Lauro's Legend (80/1)

KRABAT is by far the oldest in this line-up but has been in good form this winter, including a chase win off a higher mark, and can go one place better than at Gowran last month and belatedly break his duck over hurdles. I'm Flattered was better than the result at Punchestown last time and heads the many dangers along with Harpy Eagle and Chiefs Kingdom.
