Forecasts

Accord (11/4), Theo's Charm (3/1), Ridgeway Flyer (7/2), Adrrastos (13/2), Crystal Lad (7/1), Resolution Bay (8/1), Octagon (8/1), Ballinure (10/1), Miss Crick (14/1), Apple Of Our Eye (14/1)

A cracking contest in which several of the country's top yards are represented. Ballinure has looked good on a couple of occasions, but did run badly over fences once, which is a worry, while Accord shaped well on his chasing debut and can go well. Octagon, Ridgeway Flyer, Miss Crick and Resolution Bay are all respected on their chasing debuts, but the choice is another debutant, CRYSTAL LAD, who was progressive last season and looks the type to do well at this game. Top weight Theo's Charm and dual chase winner Adrrastos cannot be ruled out.
