Forecasts

Shuttle Diplomacy (13/8), Balko D'ange (10/3), Lady Of The Locke (6/1), Saint Le Fort (8/1), Putapoundinthejar (9/1), Baron Noir (10/1), Miss Lia (16/1), Kilbuny Supersonic (18/1), Let Him B (25/1), King Casey (66/1), That's All Folks (80/1)

A few of these bring potential, not least SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY who looked a good prospect when making a winning start in a Naas bumper in January and can make it 2-2 after a break. Balko d'Ange could emerge as the main danger on the back of a promising hurdling debut second at Navan, although the Charles Byrnes-trained duo Lady Of The Locke and Let Him B merit plenty of respect too along with other debutants Kilbuny Supersonic and Putapoundinthejar.
