Forecasts

Plains Indian (15/8), Supreme Jet (2/1), Russian Diamond (9/4), Hope Des Blins (6/1), Boston Brahmin (150/1)

RUSSIAN DIAMOND was below his best in the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown when last seen in December, but he's a lightly-raced winner over hurdles, so makes appeal returning to this sphere following a break. Supreme Jet is feared most ahead of Plains Indian.
