Forecasts

Bal Kauto (3/1), Ardfert Mary (7/2), County Champs (5/1), Bigira (7/1), Onefortheditch (8/1), Hangry (11/1), Seventy Eight Team (11/1), Southgate Avenue (14/1), Craic Eile (16/1), Derby Rock (16/1), Mister Vic (16/1), Intersky Sunset (20/1), Comeonarchie (25/1), Cathys Quest (25/1), Nazine (28/1), Ennell Shadow (33/1), Ranger Billy (33/1), Conflict Lady (50/1), Keep D Change (100/1)

A few with chances but COUNTY CHAMPS edges the verdict on the back of a very good Punchestown second. Hangry is also weighted to have a say and next on the list with Bigira, Mister Vic and Bal Kauto also in the picture.
