Forecasts

Hartur D'arc (7/2), Cave Court (9/2), Tyson (9/2), Must Go Now (13/2), One Big Boum (15/2), Interchangeable (10/1), Gabriel Ranger (11/1), St Cuthbert's Cave (12/1), Marelly (14/1), Lygon Lad (14/1), The Nagger Reidy (14/1), Ask The Bookie (25/1), Answering (28/1), Cozone (33/1), On The Steel (50/1), Ishan (80/1), Showman (100/1)

Several to consider with CAVE COURT topping the shortlist on the back of an improved effort in a big-field handicap at Leopardstown where he put in good late work to finish second. The Nagger Reidy will be a serious threat if able to get his act together jumping-wise, while last-time-out winners Must Go Now and Interchangeable also enter calculations.
