Forecasts
Roc My Haarth (11/2), Nettuno Italia (6/1), Butchers Bill (6/1), Joe's Turn (8/1), Are You Busy (17/2), True Destiny (9/1), Mellem (9/1), Master Of The Sums (10/1), Aleish Lass (11/1), Cullig (12/1), Hanoi Jane (14/1), Kings Halo (14/1), Barryroe Madam (14/1), Glenetty (16/1), Glendine Billy (25/1), Danny The Fence (25/1), Apples In Winter (28/1), Tango Theatre (33/1), Tangental (33/1), Kiln Time (40/1)
The step up to 3m promises to unlock more improvement out of ROC MY HAARTH and he's preferred to fellow low-mileage sort Nettuno Italia. Joe's Turn shaped quite well from his lower hurdle mark at Punchestown last time and is next on the list ahead of recent Cork scorer Cullig.
