Forecasts

Cottie (6/4), Corran Cross (7/2), Young Jack Yates (11/2), Daicheadacuig (7/1), Danehill Quest (10/1), Tohellortoconnacht (11/1), Double Jubilee (25/1), Queen Kulina (28/1), Fourgenerations (28/1), Chase Me Charlie (33/1), Dylan Lombardy (33/1), Fairly Bold (50/1), Five Buttons (50/1), Kalanisi Pearl (50/1), Heronord (66/1), Chief Black Robe (80/1), The Holmeister (125/1), Won For Stella (150/1), Not So Bad Lad (200/1)

The fact CORRAN CROSS went off favourite on his hurdle debut back in March suggests he'd been shaping up quite well on the gallops at Cullentra House so he's taken to step up on that bare form and strike at the second time of asking in this sphere. Cottie is a potentially dangerous opponent having switched to Henry de Bromhead ahead of this hurdle debut. Tohellortoconnacht looks next best.
