Forecasts

Shantreusse (7/4), Hemlock (7/4), Donnrua Dream (7/1), On A Rainy Day (7/1), Island Glory (11/1), Justbeyondthemoon (12/1), Patsy's Honour (12/1), Bells Life (18/1), Jimli's Glory (25/1), Young Fitzy (40/1), Aintree Gin (50/1), Power Hour (66/1), Ross Lily (80/1), Coconoir (100/1), Over Milk Wood (250/1)

A potential match on paper between SHANTREUSSE and Hemlock, with preference for the former after having produced a promising first effort when runner-up at Navan last month. With further improvement on the cards, he could be tough to beat. Willie Mullins' charge demands obvious respect and should give the selection plenty to think about, with Justbeyondthemoon completing the shortlist.
