Forecasts

Coulonces (3/1), War God (3/1), Ardamir (11/2), Emir De Rots (8/1), Department Of War (8/1), Howsthewoman (10/1), Count Simon (11/1), It Takes Time (11/1), Room To Roam (12/1), Voice Of Hope (14/1), Take A Turn (16/1), Hopefully (150/1), Dominant Beet (150/1), My Capel Island (200/1), Mr Dee Cee (200/1)

COULONCES quickly opened her account over hurdles for Gavin Cromwell at Fairyhouse in April and has good claims if finding that sort of form again down in grade here. It Takes Time is considered, with Roscommon claimer 1-2 Emir de Rots and War God also in the reckoning.
