Forecasts

Kilbrin Rocco (15/8), Doyen Magic (7/2), Love Like This (4/1), The Big Cloud (5/1), Lake Chad (9/1), Halsafari (18/1), Added Bonus (22/1), Quinn The Eskimo (28/1), Knockbrack Rambler (40/1), Toofareastiswest (50/1)

Verdict

KILBRIN ROCCO is steadily progressing over fences and with his latest second likely to prove strong form for the grade, he's fancied to open his chase account. The Big Cloud again ran well on seasonal reappearance when successful on chase debut at Naas last month and would be a big danger if arriving in similar form, while Doyen Magic finished third here earlier in the season and could be worth another chance following a disappointing run.
