Forecasts

Raya Time (9/4), Star Max (5/2), Thatsy (11/4), Bentham (5/1), Dis Donc (9/1), Castlebellingham (33/1), Storm Flight (40/1), Benefit North (40/1), Pairc Na Ngael (50/1), Midway To Getaway (80/1), Ask Aisling (80/1), Eversosaucy (80/1), Largy Trix (100/1), Go All The Way (100/1), Galros Jimmy (100/1), Where's Frankie (125/1), Sofias Castle (125/1)

RAYA TIME produced easily his best effort over fences when third in a similar event here in December despite being given a lot to do, which suggests he can do better again. Star Max is 0 from 13 over fences but has a good chance of opening his account on these terms, while Thatsy can also make his presence felt if back to his best.
