Forecasts

Thirsty Work (9/4), Wishmoor (7/2), The Informer (7/2), Surf Instructor (11/2), Bilko (7/1), Asitsohappens (14/1), Next Bend (14/1)

Less exposed than many of these, SURF INSTRUCTOR could provide the answer here. A clear winner of a novice event at Limerick last time, if that win was as impressive as it looked then an opening mark of 127 may not prove insurmountable, especially if he can improve for the step up in trip. Thirsty Work seems to be improving over fences and may be the main danger, ahead of recent Punchestown fourth Wishmoor.
