Forecasts

Dee Capo (3/1), Anotherway (4/1), No Flies On Him (5/1), Loughglynn (8/1), Captain Cody (17/2), Gold Dancer (10/1), Rushmount (10/1), Oscars Brother (12/1), Mossy Fen Park (14/1), Will Do (25/1), Champagne Admiral (40/1), Blaze The Way (50/1)

The value angle here could be OSCARS BROTHER, who chased home a useful type on his hurdles debut prior to going one better in some style at Limerick three weeks ago. No Flies on Him landed a 26-runner Leopardstown maiden on his hurdles debut and subsequently found only Tullyhill too strong in a listed event at Punchestown. The winner rather let the form down when well held at the Cheltenham Festival but No Flies On Him is very promising and is second choice ahead of Dee Capo and Anotherway.
