Forecasts

Banks Boy (8/11), Champ De Gane (4/1), Cocoplum (9/2), No Trouble (11/1), Haddock De Grissay (16/1), Healthisyourwealth (20/1), Shanes Passion (25/1), Magi Gal (33/1), Royal Admiral (33/1), Convertible (40/1), No Mor Isolation (80/1), Ithaka (80/1), Penthouse Poppet (100/1)

Verdict

BANKS BOY failed to meet expectations on his last 2 starts but he sets a clear standard here so is worth another chance. Cocoplum has taken well to hurdling despite a late fall at Leopardstown in March and looks the obvious threat.
