Forecasts

Fact To File (2/1), Fascile Mode (4/1), Better Days Ahead (4/1), Feronily (9/2), Chosen Witness (9/2), Special Cadeau (17/2), A Dream To Share (12/1), Largy Hill (20/1), This Songisforyou (40/1)

Verdict

FERONILY might be the only maiden in the field, but he made a very encouraging debut in this sphere when second over C&D over Christmas, form which is good enough to win most bumpers, and the weight he receives may prove decisive. Fact To File heads a strong team for Willie Mullins, while Better Days Ahead remains an exciting prospect.
