Forecasts

Jewel Maker (1/2), Aiseolas (7/2), Aubineau (8/1), Burning Question (11/1), Ashqar (25/1), Robert E Lee (28/1), Vocal Queen (40/1), Liars Corner (50/1), Sun A Rye (50/1), Lucan Rock (50/1)

JEWEL MAKER can build on his promising second of 10 on debut in October when making headway late on on debut at Naas and is likely to be a warm order here. Aubineau is another who can build on a promise debut in December and along with the home-bred Aiseolas, third of 12 last month on seasonal debut at Naas over 6f, can hit the frame.
