Forecasts

Franciscan Rock (11/10), Spillane's Tower (2/1), Teuchters Glory (11/2), Neigh Botha (17/2), An Forghas (10/1), Raglan Road (12/1), Smooth Player (20/1), Workforadime (20/1), Belper (50/1), Finished Article (80/1), Hunt Museum (100/1), Glenabbey (100/1), Il Silenzio (125/1), Pirate Bonnie (125/1), Atacanter (150/1), Micheal's Magic (150/1), Asatisfiedmind (150/1), Shanroe Click (200/1), I'm For Home (250/1), Coco Kolada (250/1), Billies Filly (250/1), Shanroe Act (250/1), Ozark Thunder (250/1), Mighty Oak Lad (250/1)

Not nearly as competitive as the numbers suggest so FRANCISCAN ROCK is selected to go one better than when pulling clear with a short-priced favourite trained by Willie Mullins over C&D just under a fortnight ago. Spillane's Tower left his debut form well behind when runner-up at Wexford in October so he's put forward as the main threat, ahead of Raglan Road and Teuchters Glory.
