Forecasts

Aspire Tower (4/7), Horantzau D'airy (5/2), Thecompanysergeant (11/1), Cadatharla (14/1), Paul Marvel (18/1), Ambitious Fellow (25/1), Gua Du Large (28/1), Marelly (80/1), Je T'ai Porte (100/1), Sammy Smart (200/1)

Dual Grade 2 hurdles winner ASPIRE TOWER has acquitted himself very well in strong maiden chases at Thurles on his two starts in this sphere and should prove hard to beat. The one for the forecast could be his stablemate Gua du Large, with the Willie Mullins-trained pair Horantzau D'airy and Paul Marvel likely to be in the mix for minor honours.
