Forecasts

Time And Money (4/1), Chateau Musar (4/1), Dame Rapide (5/1), Elusive Gigolo (5/1), Flylikeaneagle (8/1), Storm Steps (9/1), Power Drive (10/1), Fallen Forest (11/1), Take A Turn (12/1), Book Of Verse (14/1), Anycity (16/1), Sayesse (16/1), Comedy La Vega (20/1), Sam Missile (25/1), Twentybore (28/1), Duck And Vanish (28/1), Anglo Saxson (33/1)

A number of these will relish the return to Dundalk, not least DAME RAPIDE, who enjoyed a fine spell here last year and will strip fitter for her recent Limerick comeback. She gets the vote over Chateau Musar and Flylikeaneagle.
