Forecasts

Monbeg Theatre (11/4), Lough Salt (7/2), Lough Derg Farmer (7/2), Notnow Seamus (4/1), Dubai Angel (5/1), Jacks Last Hope (10/1), Nautical Nitwit (11/1), Becky The Thatcher (16/1)

A wide open contest in which a case can be made for the majority of the runners. Last year's winner of this, Lough Salt, may not have been in great form but a return to this course could spark a revival. MONGBEG THEATRE is preferred though as he arrives bidding for a hat-trick and he could be hard to peg back at a course that can favour front-runners. Notnow Seamus is clearly in good form while Jacks Last Hope will appreciate these conditions.
