Forecasts

Pride Of Derry (3/1), Mount Fairweather (7/2), Cornman (4/1), Gwan So (9/2), Barud (5/1), Confident Star (12/1), Bridge Of Dawn (22/1), Common Practice (25/1), Chaos Control (25/1), Save Your Breath (28/1), Fiach Mchugh (50/1), New York Dreams (100/1), Mymacushla (200/1), Molly's Gamble (300/1)

A mixed bag, and it might be worth taking a chance on GWAN SO, who stepped up markedly on his debut effort when second at Naas, and was nicely clear of the rest that day. Mount Fairweather and Pride of Derry have been progressive so far and could play leading roles, too.
