Forecasts

Dundory (4/1), Mk Drama (5/1), Hammersmith (13/2), Ballycaines (7/1), Starting Monday (12/1), Fugacious (12/1), Dragon Of Malta (12/1), We'll Go Again (14/1), Loingseoir (18/1), Boasty (20/1), Pretty Rebel (22/1), Allegio (22/1), Overheer (25/1), Kosman (33/1), The Bog Bank (33/1), Take My Hand (40/1), Golden Spear (40/1), Memsie (40/1), Mulzamm (50/1), Anglo Saxson (50/1)

BALLYCAINES has been in good form both on the Flat and over hurdles and it's possible he'll hold a fitness edge over some of these reappearing rivals. Hammersmith, Loingseoir and Dundory head the many possible dangers.
