Forecasts

Phil's Magic (5/1), Eight Till Late (13/2), Rock On Fruity (7/1), Definite Soldier (7/1), Champagne Harmony (8/1), The King Of Brega (8/1), Net D'Ecosse (10/1), Ocean Glandore (10/1), Marchese Marconi (12/1), Hash Brown (12/1), Heron Heights (12/1), Aranhill Chief (14/1), Full Cry (14/1), Knockraha Boss (14/1), Mountain King (16/1), Stonehall Jack (20/1), Rohan's Pride (25/1), Dushrembrandt (33/1), Padraig's Joy (40/1)

Stonehall Jack will lead the field here in the early stages of this 2m6f contest, with Rohan's Pride, Knockraha Boss and Aranhill Chief racing in behind. At the prices, CHAMPAGNE HARMONY looks too big, if forgetting last run at Ballinrobe, Paul Townend back on board is a positive. King Of Brega, who beat 10 rivals, seven lengths in a Downpatrick handicap hurdle last day and Net D'Ecosse, second of nine beaten a neck behind Sandymount Duke in Down Royal handicap chase over 2m4f are next best.
