Forecasts

Ex Patriot (11/8), Arvico Bleu (9/4), Dolciano Dici (9/2), Stooshie (5/1), Benruben (20/1), Turbo (33/1), Sanibel Island (66/1), Big Bad Brian (100/1), Churchtown Glen (100/1), Fly De Megaudais (100/1), Fu's Island (100/1), Whitmore Power (200/1)

The solid and consistent Henry De Bromhead-trained ARVICO BLEU can land the opening race following up a couple of fine efforts at Fairyhouse and Naas recently. The seven-year-old can hold off the attentions of the Willie Mullins-trained Dolciano Dici and Ex Patriot, the mount of Derek O'Connor. 128-rated hurdler Stooshie from the Gordon Elliott yard is worthy of consideration on chasing introduction.
