Forecasts

Howth (7/4), Ultramarine (9/4), Glengarra (3/1), Pride Of Derry (10/1), Obdurate (14/1), Miss Granger (22/1), Mister Tiddlywinks (25/1), Little Queenie (100/1), Wayne R Walker (100/1)

Wither further improvement on the cards, HOWTH is fancied to get the job done at the third attempt before having a crack at something better. Ultramarine and Glengarra are considered the main threats in that order.
