Forecasts

Staker Wallace (4/7), Super Citizen (7/2), Fanamix (5/1), Call It Time (16/1), Michael's Pick (25/1), Cloudy Tuesday (28/1), Prefad (50/1), The Lying King (50/1), Martalink (50/1), Daicheadacuig (66/1), Three Loud Knocks (80/1)

STAKER WALLACE sets a good standard here and arrives in good form from the pointing scene so looks the way to go. Both Fanamix and Super Citizen can boast recent wins in points though, so should ensure Enda Bolger's gelding doesn't have things all his own way.
