Forecasts

Complete Sizing (11/8), Some Man (9/4), Templebredin (11/4), Outside The Ring (7/2), Alpha Male (16/1), Beyond Redemption (25/1), Heydour (25/1), Bold Hero (50/1), Change Your Story (100/1), Mr Cosmos (150/1)

SOME MAN was a bit off his game at Thurles last time but he has the best form and a drop back in trip should play to his strengths, so he's narrowly preferred to Outside The Ring, who has done well between the flags since last seen under Rules. Templebredin is another one to consider.
