Forecasts

Name Me Famous (10/3), Temptationinmilan (4/1), Smitty Bacall (4/1), Filon D'Oudairies (17/2), Mica Malpic (9/1), Presenting Cody (9/1), Carnet De Stage (12/1), Union Park (12/1), Feyan (14/1), Go Gill Go (20/1), Fly De Megaudais (22/1), Neptunus Equester (28/1), Cap D'Aubois (28/1), Masterstonemason (40/1)

FILON D'OUDAIRIES recent form figures are admittedly uninspiring, but he did hint that he could be working his way back to form in a handicap hurdle at Cork last time and is now 4 lb lower than for his breakthrough success in this sphere at Wexford last August. Temptationinmilan has performed respectably over hurdles the last twice and could take a step forward on his handicap debut in this sphere. He is second choice ahead of Mica Malpic.
