Forecasts
Knockraha Boss (7/2), Boher Call (4/1), Zekarya (4/1), Ad Idem (4/1), Shamiran (9/2), Rock On Fruity (12/1), Captain Hox (16/1), Nimdani (33/1)
KNOCKRAHA BOSS put up a decent showing at Limerick when last seen and, with a slightly shorter trip to contend with now, may be able to score in this company. A couple of winners came out of his previous race, so the form entitles him to plenty respect. Ad Idem showed he retains his hunger when chasing home Aupcharlie in a recent Hunters Chase and is worth noting while Captain Hox isn't entirely written off despite having something to prove. Nimdani and Zekarya are returning from absences but could play roles in this if ready to roll.
