Forecasts

Optical Confusion (5/2), Axiomatic (4/1), An Marcach (5/1), Shanroe Al C (11/2), Agent Boru (7/1), La Feline (7/1), Goodnightngodbless (10/1), Hoke Colburn (16/1), Thegoaheadman (20/1), Sunrise Lady (22/1), Fill The Tank (25/1), King's War (50/1), Full Of Zandre (50/1), Bilbo Bagins (66/1), King's Song (66/1), Urbanist (66/1), Fenlon's Hill (100/1)

AN MARCACH gained reward for some consistent efforts when scoring at Clonmel last month and a 5-lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Optical Confusion and Shanroe Al C head the opposition.
