Forecasts

Charlie Luciano (7/2), Observing (5/1), Caramel Lizard (5/1), Sir Allen (11/2), Butterfly Garden (13/2), Antilia (7/1), Loom Large (8/1), Riyami (10/1), Dane Fete (12/1), Grappa Nonino (12/1), Not Just Any Eagle (16/1), Queen Of Seduction (18/1), Liberated Light (25/1), Goonyaboyya (28/1), Deluca Chop (40/1), Portarlington (50/1), Secret Rock (50/1), Pink Fire Lilly (66/1)

ANTILIA caught the eye a bit on his qualifying run at Bellewstown last month and is taken to strike on handicap debut for Joseph O'Brien. Charlie Luciano has run well over hurdles since going close on the Flat at Leopardstown and is likely to be in the shake-up under Colin Keane. His title rival Billy Lee also has a solid chance courtesy of last month's Naas scorer Loom Large. Butterfly Garden also make the shortlist.
