Forecasts

Cluan Dara (7/2), Cantkidakidder (18/5), Mossy White (9/2), Mary Fields (11/2), My First Symphony (13/2), I'm Not Alone (7/1), Monsieur Bagot (17/2), Give Him Time (12/1), Ballinasilla (12/1), Classic Concorde (14/1), Court Adjourned (14/1), Avec Espoir (18/1), Capture The Drama (18/1), Mash Potato (22/1)

CLUAN DARA arguably should have won (fared best of those held up) when just failing to peg back Mary Fields at Tramore 3 weeks ago and is taken to reverse the placings. Cantkidakidder was a neck back in third that day and should be on the premises again.
