Forecasts

Boston Rover (4/1), One Night Standard (4/1), Gorgeous Suspect (11/2), On Lovers Walk (7/1), Presenting Max (8/1), Born Bright (10/1), Ollie La Ba Ba (10/1), The Electrical Kid (10/1), Iamagetaway (12/1), Ballybrittas (14/1), Chiefs Kingdom (14/1), Betty Dutton (14/1), Jhentong Enki (33/1), Lehaunstown (33/1), Lady Nightingale (33/1), Miss Dishy (50/1), Shotgun Jack (50/1)

Gordon Elliott's BOSTON ROVER made a promising start to his career when second at Limerick last month and this looks a good chance for him to go one better. Betty Dutton could have more to come on the back of he recent Tramore chase debut and is second choice ahead of Born Bright, who looked booked for third behind the selection when coming down 2 out at Limerick.
