Forecasts

Cavalry Master (5/4), Momus (7/2), Cuneo (4/1), Blackhillsofdakota (17/2), Sir Carno (12/1), The Second Coming (14/1), Mister Bells (20/1), Storm Flight (25/1), Think Positive (33/1), Boro Melody (66/1), Lovely Moon (100/1), Go All The Way (100/1), Four Country Roads (100/1), Brandy Harbour (100/1), Galros Jimmy (150/1), Fr Gilligansvoyge (200/1)

CAVALRY MASTER sets a decent standard and is fancied to open his account over fences, especially if he can improve his fencing. Momus is feared most on the back of his good Naas fourth, with The Second Coming appealing as the pick of the remainder and a decent place prospect.
