Forecasts

Gerri Colombe (2/5), Fantasio D'alene (7/2), Getupthemstairs (6/1), Ailie Rose (8/1), Rajsalad (10/1), Sundrenched (16/1), Golas Tiep (22/1), Tiktoktyson (33/1), Watch The Weather (33/1), Cool Rain (40/1), Keepthefaithinme (40/1), Ballymagee (40/1), Maura Jeanne (50/1), White Quarry Rose (80/1), Kerrytown Rock (80/1), Gallant Geronimo (125/1), Woodstream Lad (150/1), Light Heidi (300/1)

GERRI COLOMBE created an excellent impression when unbeaten in two bumpers so is fancied to defy his absence and go in at the first time of asking over hurdles. Stable-companion Fantasio D'Alene has the form to play his part too provided he is none the worse for his Navan fall, with Getupthemstairs appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
