Forecasts

Mississippi River (7/4), Slieve Binnian (6/1), Instant Appeal (13/2), Love Billy Boy (8/1), Himalayan Heights (8/1), State Actor (9/1), Artful Approach (11/1), Coeur d'Or (12/1), Lady Lunette (14/1), Bear Profit (20/1), Grey Leader (25/1), Final Voyage (28/1), Booyea (33/1), Monasterboice (33/1), Merlin The Wizard (40/1)

This useful and competitive handicap may go the way of bottom weight INSTANT APPEAL, who has run well to reach the frame in big-field handicaps the last twice and won't need to pull out much more for first-time cheekpieces. Love Billy Boy shaped very well when chasing home Slieve Binnian at the Curragh recently and heads the many dangers along with stablemate Bear Profit and Johnny Murtagh's Final Voyage.
