Forecasts

Undeniable Alibi (8/13), Maroto (5/4), Whatsyourproblem (7/2), Milo Lises (5/1), Stickman (6/1), Interieur Cuir (10/1), King Of Cong (18/1), Beechfield (18/1), Heidi's Frontiere (33/1), John Coffey (50/1), Imperial Chief (100/1), Tenacious Tess (125/1), Spavango (125/1)

Verdict

UNDENIABLE ALIBI is taken to build on his Fairyhouse third last month and strike at the second time of asking over hurdles. The main threat will likely come from Willie Mullins pair Maroto and Milo Lises unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding John Queally newcomer Whatsyourproblem.
