Forecasts

Fountain House (1/1), Eyes Off Annie (10/3), Asphalt Cowboy (5/1), Gale Force Jet (8/1), Cosmic Blizzard (8/1), The Blind Piper (12/1), Man Of The House (14/1), Squire Ohara (25/1), Hey Sir (28/1), Sixhandsinmypocket (40/1), Go Frankie (66/1), Fr Gilligansvoyge (80/1), Go Mike Go (100/1), Keenaghan Lass (125/1)

EYES OFF ANNIE did it well when making a winning Rules debut in a Cork hunter and, armed with plenty of scope for progress, she is taken to maintain her 100% record in this sphere. The prolific Fountain House is a much-respected main danger, while Asphalt Cowboy should also make his presence felt.
