Forecasts

An Laochmor (5/1), Polar Bear (11/2), Poweracclaim (6/1), Verified (13/2), Asdana (15/2), Arctic Steps (10/1), Sporting Hero (11/1), Skillman Ave (12/1), Nouvel Espoir (12/1), Kilmood Susan (14/1), Andosky (16/1), Verhoyen (20/1), Step Back In Time (20/1), Edmond Halley (25/1), Irish Ballet (40/1), Apache Star (50/1), Romantic War (50/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and the upwardly-mobile AN LAOCHMOR can defy another rise in the weights to complete a hat-trick. Asdana is feared most on the back of a resurgent Bellewstown fourth with Arctic Steps, Poweracclaim and Step Back In Time in the picture for minor honours.
