Forecasts

Oscer Romero (16/5), Ask David (5/1), Deealli (11/2), Strong Roots (6/1), Western Line (13/2), Ruler Of Dubai (12/1), Fair Minded (14/1), Mezyan (14/1), Milestone Prince (16/1), Musical Ava (18/1), Glen Robin (20/1), Glebe Girl (22/1), Nasee (28/1), Frankfurter (28/1), Peter's Pence (33/1), Monatierna (40/1), Captain Cobajay (50/1), De Grey Mink (80/1)

OSCER ROMERO was impressive at Ballinrobe at the start of the month and may be capable of defying a rise in the weights for the Philip Rothwell team. Ask David rates a threat after his Cork second, while Strong Roots is also after her improved runner-up effort at Wexford recently.
