Forecasts
Vicar Street (6/4), Frankie John (7/4), Shadow Paddy (4/1), Bowensonfire (8/1), Kilbarry Saint (12/1), D Art D Art (20/1)
A few of these bring potential but Willie Mullins has a fine record in this and his VICAR STREET is fancied to take another step forward and follow up his commanding Galway victory (form worked out well) after a break. Frankie John rates a good prospect too though, and seems sure to go close, while the likeable Shadow Paddy shouldn't be underestimated either in his bid to go 4-4 in this sphere.
