Forecasts

Springhill Warrior (8/15), Minella Diamond (7/2), Tomthescaffolder (5/1), Loyal Touch (16/1), Welcome Back (16/1), Captain Hanley (22/1), Tolka Row (22/1), Ajp Falco (33/1), Silly Mongoose (50/1), Acheron (80/1), China Grill (150/1), Sycamore Cove (150/1), Million Dollar Man (200/1), Akako (200/1), It's Time To Leave (200/1), Whatdoyoucallhim (200/1), Jalfrezi (200/1)

SPRINGHILL WARRIOR looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to get off the mark after three consecutive second placings. Henry de Bromhead's hurdling newcomer Tomthescaffolder could prove the one to chase home Gordon Elliott's fairly useful maiden ahead of Loyal Touch and Tolka Row.
