Forecasts
Bel Ami De Sivola (1/2), Monbeg Notorious (5/4), Ballela Boy (2/1), Ned's Island (12/1), Sir Issac (25/1)
Monbeg Notorious is potentially open to more progress in this and has already showcased his talent over these obstacles in three runs this season, he will no doubt have a major role to play. BEL AMI DE SIVOLA won here over 2m in November and showed enough in a hot contest at Punchestown last week to merit serious consideration if Noel Meade takes his chance on this quick turnaround. Ballela Boy, the third Gigginstown runner, is also capable of being in the shake-up while Ned's Island must improve on his career-best at Tramore last time to gain a significant chunk of the prizemoney on offer.
