Forecasts

Rochestown (10/3), Brucejack (10/3), Sweet Will (5/1), Time Marches On (7/1), C'Est Quelqu'un (8/1), Dundaniel (8/1), Lake Chad (17/2), Willywampus (9/1), Invictus Machin (14/1), Gateau De Miel (16/1), Broken Ice (18/1)

Verdict

A case can be made for a few of these but C&D winner WILLYWAMPUS looked in fine fettle when scoring at Thurles last time so gets the vote with that form working out well. Both Rochestown and Sweet Will command plenty of respect reverting to this sphere and can chase home Eamon Courtney's 7-y-o in that order.

  1. WILLYWAMPUS (IRE)
  2. ROCHESTOWN (IRE)
  3. SWEET WILL (IRE)
