Forecasts

Ballyoisin (1/1), Exit Poll (15/8), Visioman (6/1), Winter Escape (8/1), Rocky Court (80/1)

Despite a lengthy absence, it's worth taking the chance that BALLYOISIN retains the bulk of his ability, as he'd outclass these rivals if that was the case. If he's not the force of old, Winter Escape is the likeliest to take advantage, while Exit Poll isn't a forlorn hope.
