Forecasts

Champ Kiely (6/4), My Immortal (15/8), Monishter Are Mwee (13/2), Seaforth Mancy (12/1), Hans Gruber (12/1), Bellaney Lord (16/1), Shesdoenwell (22/1), Mister Rocket Man (22/1), Bout Time Bobby (40/1), Answering (66/1), Knockwilliambridge (66/1), Hud Hastings (66/1), Fruit Blossom (80/1), Plusthevat (80/1), Royal Diver (100/1), Be My Indian (150/1), Up The Club (150/1), Naomh Moling (200/1)

Although CHAMP KIELY unseated in a point, the fact that he's been picked up by top connections since suggests he's held in quite high regard, so he's worth chancing to make a winning start. My Immortal and Monishter Are Mwee both arrive on the back of pleasing debuts and could give the selection plenty to think about.
