Forecasts

Found A Fifty (11/10), Corbetts Cross (7/4), Jackpot De Choisel (13/2), Walk With Paul (11/1), Lily Du Berlais (11/1), Dalvey (250/1)

A fascinating Grade 2 in which CORBETTS CROSS is taken to emerge on top on his first run for Emmet Mullins and make it 3-4 over hurdles after easily defying a mark of 130 at Fairyhouse last month. Limerick scorer Walk With Paul also has better days ahead of her and Martin Brassil's mare is not passed over easily, while Found A Fifty and Jackpot de Choisel merit consideration too on the back of impressive recent victories.
