Forecasts

Ninth Titan (9/4), Enfranchise (10/3), Rath Gaul Boy (10/3), This Songisforyou (10/3), Olympic Man (11/2), Bumble Bee Bet (20/1), Fast Medicine (50/1), Bobbisilver (50/1), Ivasecret (66/1), Can't Buy Time (80/1), Quarry Rocco (100/1), The Riastrad (100/1), Hockworthy Flyer (150/1), Mahlermore (150/1), Jonny Mansie (150/1), Shotgun Jack (250/1), She's No Fool (250/1), Onehellofagetaway (250/1), Onefortheditch (300/1), Ballycommon Chapel (300/1)

THIS SONGISFORYOU won a bumper here 12 months ago and posted an encouraging first start in this sphere at Roscommon last month. He should have learnt plenty from that experience and gets the nod in a competitive opener. Enfranchise looks the chief danger on form whilst Ninth Titan looks the pick of the Willie Mullins trio, judged on jockey bookings.
