Forecasts

Springhill Warrior (2/5), Minella Diamond (5/1), Welcome Back (8/1), Tomthescaffolder (10/1), Tolka Row (16/1), Loyal Touch (25/1), Captain Hanley (33/1), It's Time To Leave (33/1), Acheron (33/1), Silly Mongoose (66/1), Million Dollar Man (66/1), China Grill (66/1), Ajp Falco (66/1), Jalfrezi (66/1), Akako (100/1), Whatdoyoucallhim (250/1), Sycamore Cove (250/1)

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.
