Forecasts

Toughari (3/1), Stamp Your Feet (9/2), Inviction (6/1), Clancypantz (13/2), Ask David (8/1), Likable Chancer (8/1), Son Of Mahler (17/2), Minella On Line (10/1), Dr Shirocco (12/1), Flamin Aimee (14/1), Bloodstone (14/1), Rock Of Tuskar (20/1), Diggin Deep (22/1), Lessofdnegativity (22/1), Pepper'n Salt (28/1), Icantsay (33/1), Jarob (40/1), Precious Bounty (40/1), The Mulcare Rover (66/1)

STAMP YOUR FEET returned with a promising second at Ballinrobe and can go one better here off a handy mark. Inviction is less exposed than most and rates the chief threat on the back of his good Tipperary third, with recent Punchestown winner Ask David likely to be on the premises too.
