Forecasts

Hens Tooth (4/9), Lough Owel (10/3), Muhtaluza (5/1), Earl Neigh (13/2), Seskin Flash (20/1), Alaboyoli (33/1), Mr Bezi (50/1), Le Grand Peinture (66/1)

It's probably best to narrow this down to the Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott runners. HENS TOOTH gets the nod over Lough Owel and Muthaluza but the betting is sure to provide more clues.
