Forecasts

Born Patriot (9/2), William of Wykeham (9/2), Anything Will Do (6/1), Max Flamingo (7/1), Snugsborough Hall (15/2), Druid's Altar (9/1), Western Run (9/1), Ben Dundee (11/1), Mon Lino (14/1), Ballycastle Girl (14/1), Grange Walk (16/1), Alohamora (20/1), Jammy George (20/1), Prospectus (33/1), Definite Plan (40/1), Great Trango (66/1)

This looks very open indeed and BEN DUNDEE is taken to strike off a tempting hurdles mark. Having shaped well on return at Naas following a 12-month absence in March, he found 3m too stiff a test in a big-field Punchestown handicap last time and this intermediate trip could be just the ticket. Max Flamingo, fourth in that Punchestown race, merits respect and William of Wykeham is also shortlisted.
