Forecasts

Mighty Oak Lad (4/1), John The Diva (5/1), Jay Pee M (6/1), On Your Way (7/1), Glady Max (8/1), The Miracle Man (10/1), Natural Breeze (12/1), Notimelikedpresent (16/1), Cloudy Fountain (16/1), Callmedusty (16/1), Chasing Chances (20/1), Whotookthebiscuit (20/1), Fire Force (20/1), Danny The Fence (20/1), Da Big Fella (25/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and MIGHTY OAK LAD looks the way to go on the back of his excellent Navan handicap third last time out. John The Diva shaped well on his first go over fences when third at Tramore and rates the main threat to Karl Thornton's 7-y-o, while chasing newcomers On Your Way and Jay Pee M also need factoring in, especially if the market speaks in their favour.
