Forecasts

Gunfire Reef (7/4), Fr Humphrey (6/1), Cowboy Des Long (6/1), Well Joey (8/1), Moroval (8/1), Thekingofconnemara (10/1), Loch Luatha (12/1), Dawn Light Cave (16/1), Allied Victory (16/1), Fergiethelegend (20/1), Double Portrait (20/1), Bridies Boy (20/1), Tj Goodtymes (25/1), Hawk Eye Down (25/1), Glacial Shadow (33/1)

GUNFIRE REEF got of the mark for connections at the 11th time of asking over the larger obstacles, winning a 15-runner Punchestown handicap last month off an 8lb lower mark and can confound his new mark in a weaker event here. Cowboy Des Long can emerge as the biggest danger following a fine run at Tramore earlier this month, while Fr Humphrey and Loch Luatha are capable of hitting the frame.
