Forecasts

Hunters Yarn (1/1), Ryehill (3/1), Lets Go Champ (7/2), Cold Old Fire (9/1), Macs Charm (18/1), Occupational Force (40/1), Lough Derg Spirit (40/1), Padraigs Boy (80/1)

HUNTERS YARN was classy in his prime for Willie Mullins and made a positive start in a hunter at Naas when beaten only by one of the market leaders for the Hunters' Chase at Cheltenham. Lets Go Champ and Ryehill can battle for minor honours.
