Forecasts

Glenquin Castle (9/4), Courting Vickie (9/2), Boghlone Honey (5/1), My Friend The Wind (10/1), Stolen Moment (10/1), Walking The Walk (11/1), Moyode Lady (14/1), Anuas Ar An Bpost (14/1), Bintheredonethat (18/1), Lady L'lerom (22/1), Mrs Watson (25/1), Worth Presenting (25/1), Derby De Thaix (25/1), Humps And Bumps (28/1), Roped In (33/1), So Enjoy (33/1), Boherlug (40/1), Minella Away (50/1), Early Derby (66/1), Ice Cool (100/1), Pullyersocksup (100/1), Kabin Fever Too (125/1), Mick Spadoun (150/1)

GLENQUIN CASTLE remains well treated on his chase form in this sphere following a 7 lb rise for Tipperary, so he's fancied to extend his winning sequence to 5. Courting Vickie remains a maiden, though is threatening to come good soon, while Stolen Moment and Roped In are others to consider in a competitive event.
