Forecasts

Yoradreamer (11/8), Penny Express (10/3), Young Churchill (7/2), Dramatic License (5/1), Dysart Dasher (11/2), Colvin (11/1), Parkgarve (16/1), Forty Kay (18/1), Jessie's Dreamgirl (20/1), Doorman Moe (40/1), Take Chance (50/1), Silk Degrees (50/1), Little Boy Sivola (66/1), Gerrys Wish (80/1), Tiffany Mae (100/1), The Cheeky Pup (100/1), Vangelis (150/1), On The Cards (250/1)

It may pay to give another chance to YOUNG CHURCHILL, who has failed to build on the promise of his hurdles debut at Fairyhouse in two subsequent starts, but it's still early days for this 4-y-o and he certainly possesses the ability to win a race of this type. Yoradreamer looks the pick of the Willie Mullins-trained trio and is next on the list ahead of Penny Express, while Dramatic License is also worth a second look.
