Forecasts

Manamite (4/7), Mary Sun (4/1), Cask Mate (6/1), Killasser Boy (7/1), Us And Them (10/1), Minella Times (10/1), Commandant (11/1), Texie Rexie (20/1), Amerijano (33/1), The Mouse Doctor (50/1), Visioman (66/1), Churchtown Glen (80/1), Clementina (100/1), Caveat Emptor (100/1), Dontdooddson (100/1), Giveittomestraight (100/1), Itscatrionaschoice (100/1), Rose's In The Rain (100/1), Hiupinthesky (100/1), Dancing In The Sky (100/1), Flamingo Lane (100/1), The Broom Squire (100/1), Western Sea (100/1), Moll Dote (100/1), Montauk Flyer (125/1), Backintheboom (125/1), Clear View (125/1)

Killasser Boy and Moll Dote could take each other on for the lead here in the early stages of the contest with Cask Mate, The Mouse Doctor and Backintheboom in behind. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Us And Them can out-run his price, while the race could develop between Mary Sun and the selection, MANAMITE who can carry on his impressive French Flat form on hurdling debut.
