Forecasts

Magnor Glory (16/5), Brandy Harbour (7/2), The Truant (9/2), Dontdooddson (5/1), Junior Bee (6/1), Bonnie Kellie (7/1), Call Me Rocky (8/1), Cosa Ban (10/1), Hurricane Darwin (18/1), Five Buttons (20/1), Toughari (22/1), Mater Matuta (33/1), Chapel Street (50/1), Vermilion Cliffs (66/1), Dream Believe (80/1), Big Bee Hive (125/1), Keenaghan Lass (125/1)

The most appealing of these is THE TRUANT, who took a step forward when going down narrowly at Limerick 3 weeks ago and, on that evidence, his turn is almost certainly near. Brandy Harbour is 0-8 in this sphere, but he's on a good mark given his ability over fences and this drop back in trip looks a good move. He is second choice ahead of Dontdooddson, Bonnie Kellie and Junior Bee.
