Forecasts

Blackjacktennessee (7/2), Justshortofabubble (4/1), Unblinking (6/1), Beannaigh Do (6/1), Unai (15/2), First Class Return (8/1), Easkey Lad (17/2), Reign Suepreme (17/2), Prince Of Bad Lins (11/1), O'Faolains Lad (14/1), Tudors Treasure (20/1), Fine Theatre (25/1), Chain Smoker (40/1)

In a race where very few arrive with compelling claims, BEANNAIGH DO is given a chance to build on his chase debut second over a shorter trip here 4 weeks ago. Recent Fontwell second Unblinking is an obvious threat. Easkey Lad and First Class Return are both capable of making an impact at this level if putting their best foot forward.
