Forecasts

Intellotto (4/9), Wisdomofhindsight (7/2), Firebrand (13/2), Zariygann (17/2), Marirah (33/1), Hungry Rock (40/1), Liberty Vallence (66/1), Out Of Theordinary (80/1)

This looks ripe for INTELLOTTO, who hasn't been seen out in this sphere since finishing second in a Cork maiden last spring but he has subsequently won two of his four starts over hurdles. Joseph O'Brien's charge is likely to prove a class apart here. Wisdomofhindsight finished a creditable third at the Curragh last time and he is third choice ahead of likely improver Marirah.
