Forecasts

Go Another One (11/4), Doctor Duffy (6/1), Mindsmadeup (13/2), Portmore Lough (7/1), Macgiloney (17/2), Debuchet (12/1), Timiyan (14/1), Chavi Artist (16/1), Ask Nile (16/1), Mind's Eye (16/1), Peaches And Cream (16/1), Plinth (20/1), Red Jack (20/1), Biddy The Boss (25/1), Young Turk (28/1), Cecil Corbett (33/1), Amaulino (50/1)

PLINTH struggled back over hurdles last time but he'd made a decent start for his new yard prior to that, including when a close fourth in a similar event at Kilbeggan, and could be worth chancing with headgear back on. Peaches And Cream seems to have got the hang of things over fences now and remains with potential in this sphere, so rates the main threat ahead of Go Another One and Doctor Duffy.
