Forecasts

Ballagh Star (3/1), Tennesse Boy (7/2), The Little Yank (7/1), Broken Ice (15/2), Seventy Eight Team (15/2), He Fitz In (8/1), Will It Be You (12/1), Game And Glory (12/1), John Storey (14/1), Ardaghs Choice (25/1), Eddies Pride (33/1)

BROKEN ICE, a recent winner over hurdles, returns to chasing on a good mark on old form and is put forward as the answer. Ballagh Star arrives on the back of two solid efforts and seems likely to be thereabouts once again, with Seventy Eight Team also feared.
