Forecasts

Jamesmicheal (4/1), Rock On Barney (5/1), Holly Flight (5/1), Ringrone Castle (5/1), Double Portrait (6/1), Mic Milano (6/1), Fergiethelegend (6/1), Betterthanalright (14/1)

Holly Flight has been improving in this sphere and might have made the frame at Listowel last week bar a late unseat. She can't be discounted back in a handicap now. Fergiethelegend is a reliable yardstick and much-respected despite being one of the old boys in the field while Jamesmicheal and Ringrone Castle are also shortlisted. MIC MILANO was running his best race over fences at Sligo a year ago when giving the useful Poormans Hill a race on testing ground before he clattered the final fence and finished second. He'll have to bounce back having disappointed over timber since but might be capable.
