Forecasts

David Garrick (3/1), Ladiam (9/2), Vocito (5/1), Turkestan (5/1), Telecon (11/2), Sycamore Grey (15/2), Viceregent (8/1), Prince Of Verona (9/1), Harel Du Marais (14/1), Complete Fantasy (16/1), Luna Skye (16/1), Dark Matter (28/1), Firstman (50/1), Annie Stafford (50/1), Prayer Moon (80/1), Outa Karney (100/1), Realta Geal (150/1), Daisy Dreams (150/1)

If DAVID GARRICK can reproduce the form he showed when runner-up at Bellewstown at the beginning of the month then he stands a decent chance of going one better. Ladiam travelled well when an improved second at Sligo last time and heads the dangers. Telecon has achieved enough in bumpers to think he could play a prominent role in a race like this now hurdling, while Gordon Elliott's Sycamore Grey is one to note in the betting.
