Forecasts

A Ladies Milan (10/3), Little Saint (7/2), Achill Road Boy (4/1), Dubh Des Champs (4/1), Kildrum (5/1), Court Baloo (13/2), Kilcaragh Boy (15/2), Galuppi (18/1), Orlas' Abbey (22/1), Betterlatethanneva (66/1)

Verdict

This is wide open but preference is for Philip Kirby's DUBH DES CHAMPS, who ran one of his better races after 3 months off when fourth at Catterick earlier this month and is entitled to come on from that here. Achill Road Boy was just touched off over C&D in November and he rates as the main threat on paper, ahead of Galuppi and A Ladies Milan.
