Forecasts

Verdict

ALIUNDE had a bit in hand at Ballinrobe a fortnight ago and an 8 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop Mark McNiff's charge. Calahill ran well at Cartmel last time and is second choice ahead of Desert Heather, who progressed into a useful hurdler for Declan Queally and has scope from her much lower chase mark if new trainer Rodger Sweeney has her primed after 8 months off.

  1. ALIUNDE (IRE)
