Forecasts

Clear The Runway (11/4), Dads Lad (7/2), Effernock Fizz (6/1), Editeur Du Gite (6/1), The Widdow Maker (6/1), El Borracho (17/2), Poseidon (17/2)

None of these can be ruled out but a very strong pace looks on the cards which should suit Willie Mullins' improving young chaser DADS LAD who made it 2-3 over fences in great style at Killarney and can claim his biggest prize yet. Editeur du Gite and Clear The Runway have more to offer too and are greatly respected, with Effernock Fizz and El Borracho also likely to get involved in the pace setting.
