Forecasts

Clarabello (11/4), Direct Fire (7/2), Call Me Merry (6/1), First Touch (13/2), Presenting Bonnie (15/2), Sunshine Beach (12/1), Grattan Quay (14/1), Fort William (18/1), Presenting Cody (18/1), Dicey Rylee (20/1), More Wine Lilly (22/1), Nymphhall (50/1), Haveuseentherain (50/1), Colman's Courage (66/1)

CLARABELLO was back on track when fourth at Wexford recently and may be the answer to this weak maiden hurdle. Direct Fire took a step forward when fourth at Thurles last time and may provide the chief threat ahead of Paul Cashman's Call Me Merry.
