Forecasts

Trebizond (4/6), Boom Boom Boom (9/2), Fil The Power (7/1), Hurricane Alex (11/1), Barnacullia (14/1), Nevendon (14/1), Siobhans Pride (16/1), Inside Job (20/1), Boola Boola (22/1), Joven (22/1), Montel Glory (33/1), Odd Venture (40/1), Sweet Justice (40/1), Justshortofabubble (150/1), Bushtucker Trial (300/1)

TREBIZOND's second at Tramore last time is comfortably the best piece of form on offer and, if he can reproduce that, he should be able to go one better in a maiden that lacks depth. Boom Boom Boom and Nevendon look like his main rivals on form.
