Forecasts

Finnians Row (3/1), Bidentime (7/2), Kings Halo (7/2), Spancil Hill (11/2), Wee Small Hours (6/1), Aodhan May (12/1), Four Horsemen (12/1), Garrai Phaidin (22/1), Monoxide (40/1), So Ladylike (40/1), Cluan Dara (66/1), Ringhill Lady (80/1)

BIDENTIME didn't show a great deal over hurdles but he was a most encouraging fourth in a big-field 2m handicap on his chase debut at Naas last month, and may well have finished closer had he not been hampered at a crucial stage of the race. Moving back up in trip will be in his favour and he's open to improvement in this sphere. Spancil Hill has put in good shifts on his last 2 starts and should be on the premises, while Finnians Row and Garrai Phaidin are others to consider.
