Forecasts

The Shunter (5/6), Zaynudin (9/4), The Gossiper (10/3), Supreme Jet (7/2), Beautiful Chaos (13/2), Advantage Point (12/1), Gold Haven (100/1), Tullyhogue Fort (150/1), Whatcouldhavebeen (200/1), Princess Mead (200/1)

THE GOSSIPER was useful in bumpers, scoring by a wide margin at Galway 9 months ago, so he takes marginal preference over his stablemate The Shunter, who has shown plenty of class (Cheltenham festival winner) over obstacles. Zaynudin, who has the best form in this sphere, also warrants respect.
