Forecasts

Fantasio D'alene (5/6), Whacker Clan (11/4), Highland Charge (7/2), The Goffer (10/1), Melk Abbey (11/1), Diamondinthemud (22/1), Moonovercloon (33/1), Battle Frontier (40/1), Rodney Bay (100/1), Glendaars Star (125/1), Simplydbest (200/1), Back The West (250/1), The Royal Pump (250/1), Lady Harper (250/1), Andy Ru (250/1), Out By Eleven (250/1), Harvey Hillstar (300/1)

FANTASIO D'ALENE has been given time since his below-par second at Punchestown in January and is worth one more chance on his return. Bumper winner Highland Charge should have more to offer on the back of his hurdle debut sixth, while Henry De Bromhead point recruits Melk Abbey and Whacker Clan would also enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in their favour.
