Forecasts

Inthenickoftime (85/40), Andyourbirdcansing (4/1), Stily (9/2), Vaureal (7/1), Luimneach (8/1), Finnians Row (12/1), Quornofamonday (12/1), Carlas Big Jim (14/1), Lake Chad (25/1)

A deserved first success over fences beckons for INTHENICKOFTIME, who has finished in the money on all three of his chase starts and his jumping looked more assured when second at Roscommon last time. Stily should step up on what she showed on his chase debut and may emerge as the main danger, though Vaureal will be a threat if he puts his best foot forward and Finnians Row also has claims.
