Forecasts

We'llhavewan (7/2), Hard Rain (4/1), Loup De Tallane (11/2), Jakie Mac (11/2), Carrig Carol (15/2), Maxios Show (8/1), Kilkenny Star (14/1), Bellaney Gem (16/1), Getaway Katie (18/1), Pharisees (18/1), No Conscience (22/1), Saga Aravis (33/1), Tango Theatre (33/1), Carrig Cathal (100/1), Little Mixup (100/1), Copia Verborum (100/1)

It's no great surprise to see WE'LLHAVEWAN returned to hurdles having disappointed in both starts over fences subsequent to his winning chase debut at Tipperary in July. He resumes in this sphere off what looks a workable mark and gets the nod ahead of Jakie Mac, who will be a threat if able to build on his latest effort at Listowel where he was just touched off. Recent Wexford scorer Loup de Tallane and Hard Rain are others to consider.
