Forecasts

Frill (11/8), Baseman (2/1), Elanora (4/1), Too Nice (13/2), Punakha (8/1), Step And Skip (25/1), Edge Of My Seat (40/1), The Hughlad (66/1), Izzys Charm (125/1), Bay Power (150/1), Mo Chara Maith (150/1), Built For This (200/1), Performance Plus (250/1), Milltown Lily (250/1), Jazz Session (250/1), Lucky Crown (300/1)

BASEMAN was disappointing at the Curragh when last seen in November, but this well-bred colt is given another chance to build on the abundant promise of his debut near miss at Tipperary. Hopefully the addition of blinkers will have the desired effect. Frill is an obvious danger following an improved effort at Naas last month, while Too Nice and Punakha are both open to improvement.
