Forecasts

Sir Bob (7/2), Happy Dreams (5/1), Pont Aval (6/1), Gain De Cause (6/1), Macs Charm (7/1), Gateau De Miel (7/1), Irascible (10/1), Everglow (12/1), Low Mileage (12/1), The Dabbler (14/1), Hoke Colburn (16/1), Streets Of Doyen (16/1), Street Value (22/1), Shanroe Al C (66/1)

SIR BOB gets the nod on the assumption that Gain de Cause won't be going to post following his decisive breakthrough success over fences here on Saturday. The selection was toppled when bidding for the hat-trick at Navan but that was still a solid effort. Gateau de Miel failed to land a blow at Leopardstown when last seen in December but was impressive over this C&D previously and he remains of interest. Macs Charm and Pont Aval both make some each-way appeal.
