Forecasts

Call Me Freddie (11/4), Ask Dee (4/1), Dylan Oak (6/1), Anuas Ar An Bpost (6/1), Wild Rumour (9/1), Time To Bite (10/1), Humps And Bumps (12/1), Wild Atlantic Lady (14/1), Stolen Moment (14/1), Callaghy Rose (14/1), Bartleys Boy (16/1), Tullyhogue Fort (25/1), Sky Tenor (25/1), Ballybeatnik (33/1), All About Alfie (33/1), Stellar Stow (40/1), Glennanar (40/1), Colman's Courage (40/1)

CALLAGHY ROSE has looked a work-in-progress so far and could easily be a different proposition now handicapping. Ask Dee is the obvious danger as a last-time-out winner, with Bartleys Boy likely to give his running.
