Forecasts

R'evelyn Pleasure (5/4), The Dabbler (10/3), Ex Patriot (9/2), Fiveaftermidnight (5/1), Space Cadet (11/1)

Verdict

SPACE CADET was third in the Ulster National off 6 lb higher on last season's reappearance and might be worth siding with to see off R'Evelyn Pleasure, who looked booked for second when coming down at the last in this 12 months ago and arrives on the back of a decent run at Thurles.
