Forecasts

Cardamon Hill (6/4), Caldwell Potter (13/8), Franciscan Rock (6/1), Answering (15/2), Teuchters Glory (12/1), Jack Burke (20/1), Tea It Is (100/1), Max Time (100/1), Oscar West (150/1)

Gordon Elliott looks to have a very strong hand and his costly recruit CALDWELL POTTER, who really caught the eye when eighth on his debut here, is fancied to take a big step forward and edge out his well-related stable companion Cardamon Hill. Thurles-third Answering and point-winner Jack Burke appeal as the pick of the remainder in the battle for minor honours.
