Forecasts

Lochnell (11/2), Acdc (11/2), Achill Road Boy (13/2), Finaghy Ayr (7/1), Calivigny (7/1), Anseanachai Cliste (8/1), Lowanbehold (9/1), Presented (9/1), Un Noble (10/1), Valzan (20/1)

ACDC is given a chance to prove his running last time all wrong. He had previously won over this course and distance so should go well. In a very open affair, bottom weight Presented should again be on the premises, as too should Finaghy Air. Lochnell commands plenty of respect being a real course specialist who may give the selection most to do, while top weight Un Noble is dangerously well handicapped if springing back to form.
