Forecasts

Deadheat (16/5), Rudy Catrail (4/1), Something Sweet (9/2), Glorious Galway (6/1), Sir Bob (13/2), Classic Concorde (15/2), Icantsay (16/1), Father Jed (20/1), Call Of The Loon (25/1), Peculiar Genius (40/1)

DEADHEAT was fitter for his reappearance and opened his account on Irish soil in good style at Wexford 4 weeks ago. The manner of that victory suggests a 7 lb rise is fair and he can follow up. Sir Bob and Something Sweet are fancied to give the selection most to do.
