Forecasts

Ya Ya Baby (15/8), Mulzamm (9/2), Darkened (11/2), Aced It (6/1), Dance Emperor (17/2), Hayyel (12/1), Khafaaq (12/1), Cracking Name (14/1), Swiss Army Officer (14/1), Alhaazm (14/1), Hisnameis Mrdevitt (14/1), Tanseeq (14/1), Munfallet (16/1), Little Camacho (20/1), Breaking News (22/1), Emphatic (33/1), Turf Range (33/1), Basrah Breeze (40/1), Patchouli (50/1), Joan Of Pimlico (50/1), Rita Levi (125/1)

YA YA BABY went close off this mark at Cork last weekend and has sound prospects of going one better if coping with the quick turnaround. Aced It was back on form at just the second time of asking for Joseph O'Brien at Galway and will be a threat if building on that. Swiss Army Officer and Galway winner Mulzamm also make the shortlist.
