Forecasts

Live To Laugh (10/3), Mickey Hulie (9/2), Coppola (5/1), Dolly Watkins (6/1), Sean Mc (8/1), Ardera Gun (12/1), Clever Court (12/1), Anodandawink (14/1), Dalmatic (16/1), Appian Way (16/1), Midleton Rare (18/1), La Tene (20/1), Mistyburn (22/1), Mr Dibbs (22/1), Plain Or Battered (25/1), Creadan Grace (28/1), It's Time Again (40/1), Made In The Woods (50/1), Courageous Cleo (80/1)

Lots with chances but it could pay to side with hat-trick seeking LIVE TO LAUGH who reverts to hurdles off a reduced mark having landed back-to-back handicap chases at Thurles and Clonmel. Coppola arrives in very good nick but she could have to settle for second once more ahead of Sean Mc and Midleton Rare.
