Forecasts

Gracchus De Balme (9/4), Great Bear (11/4), Riaan (11/4), Uncle Phil (5/1), The Dasher Conway (7/1)

GREAT BEAR looked a natural when runner-up on his chase bow at Killarney and can go one better in receipt of weight. Riaan made an impressive winning start over fences at Wexford and is the obvious threat in a race in which none of the 5 can be ruled out.
