Forecasts

Sea Of Sands (15/8), Special Cadeau (5/2), Brave Fortune (3/1), The Mediator (4/1), Glam De Vega (20/1), Elzaamsan (33/1), Derby Rock (80/1), River Derwent (150/1), Cresthill (200/1), Diamond Jimmy (200/1), Siul Molly Siul (300/1)

A few of these in with a squeak but SPECIAL CADEAU got back on track when finishing runner-up at Naas 6 months ago and providing he's ready to roll, he's fancied to make a winning start for Henry de Bromhead at the expense of Sea of Sands, who hasn't been seen for over 2 years but warrants considerable respect making his hurdling debut for champion trainer Willie Mullins. Brave Fortune can edge out The Mediator for third.
