Forecasts

Sam's Choice (7/4), Phillapa Sue (5/2), Colonel Mustard (16/5), Battling Warrior (14/1), Rocky Land (16/1), Kilkenny Star (18/1), Lady L'lerom (28/1), Corrigaleen (33/1), Outback Trucker (40/1), The Dude Abides (40/1), Haveuseentherain (50/1), Wailing Woods (150/1)

COLONEL MUSTARD was nicely clear of the remainder when runner-up on debut at Killarney last month and with improvement forthcoming, he could be the answer to this puzzle. Phillapa Sue and Sam's Choice are the obvious threats unless there's confidence behind a newcomer.
