Forecasts

Gimme A Buzz (3/1), Duke Silver (7/2), Adaliz (6/1), Ballycashin (9/1), General Clermont (10/1), Lynchy Boy (11/1), Avalo (12/1), Pirate Island (12/1), Kells Priory (12/1), Cramers Valley (16/1), Onefortheditch (18/1), Red Striker (20/1), Cathryns Ruby (22/1), Mr Dibbs (25/1), Grace Faraday (28/1), Angelsworknovrtime (28/1), Star Official (33/1), Ar Nos Na Gaoithe (33/1), Kerlogue (100/1)

ONEFORTHEDITCH has yet to hit top form in a couple of runs this year but wasn't knocked about when ninth at Limerick last time and could capitalise on a good mark here. Avalo heads the list of dangers on the back of his recent Wexford victory, while a host of others also command respect, including General Clermont, Adaliz, Duke Silver, Ballycashin and Star Official.
