Forecasts

Licence (4/5), County Wicklow (3/1), Optimistic Belief (6/1), Ferran Star (15/2), Boulette (12/1), Lusaka (12/1), First Blood (12/1), Curraghglass (14/1), Comedy La Vega (20/1), Silaiyli (22/1), Silent Star (66/1), Tazaral (66/1), Evenwood Sonofagun (150/1), Luz Long (250/1), Run The Jewels (250/1), To Dream (250/1), Zach Attack (300/1)

The step up in trip should suit COUNTY WICKLOW who is taken to come good at the fourth time of asking. The others with experience don't look any great shakes so it could be that the main threat comes from well-bred newcomers Licence and Ferran Star.
