Forecasts

Lessofdnegativity (4/1), Black Samurai (9/2), Emir De Rots (5/1), Capture The Drama (11/2), Back On The Bridle (7/1), Greenway Machine (9/1), Dundeedy Lad (12/1), Turndownthevolume (12/1), Go All The Way (14/1), Walshestown (14/1), Wade Harper (14/1), Hollybank King (16/1), Mary Fields (20/1)

GREENWAY MACHINE probably would have won but for departing at the last at Limerick 15 days ago, so he's worth another chance to confirm that form. Black Samurai is respected up 5 lb for winning that race, while Go All The Way is the type to do better now switched to handicap company.
