Forecasts

Silk Worm (7/2), Rebel Waltz (4/1), Long March (9/2), Pat Coyne (6/1), Nameloc (6/1), Peculiar Genius (9/1), Stowaway To Heaven (16/1), Feathered Gold (18/1), Ourauldman (22/1), Killinkere (25/1), Makeyourcall (25/1), Pat's Pearl (28/1), Ladymorata (33/1), Mezyan (33/1)

REBEL WALTZ looks the most solid option here on the back of his recent C&D second so is taken to open his account. Peculiar Genius has slipped to a good mark so rates a big threat if returning after his break in good nick, while Pat's Pearl can have a say too if none the worse for her recent fall at Downpatrick.
