Forecasts

Footpad (1/1), Ballyoisin (11/4), Great Field (5/1), Castlegrace Paddy (8/1), Simply Ned (16/1), Ordinary World (25/1), Doctor Phoenix (33/1)

This promises to be fast and furious with both Great Field and Ballyoisin marked present. Both are improving and exciting prospects. Preference is for the first-named, who was unbeaten over fences prior to an early tumble at Cork last time, though Enda Bolger's charge is also certain to run a big race. The verdict however is with last season's outstanding novice chaser, FOOTPAD, which is fully expected to leave last month's Naas disappointment behind. Ruby Walsh's mount may have the race set up for him by the other pair. Last year's winner Simply Ned could take home more place money for connections.
