Forecasts

Trebizond (85/40), The Goffer (3/1), Boom Boom Boom (4/1), Figurehead (5/1), The Waltzer (15/2), Walnut Beach (10/1), Some Dove (12/1), Stumptown (16/1), Heronord (18/1), Boola Boola (20/1), Custers Mistake (22/1), Andys Flame (33/1), King Lenox (50/1), Banada Bridge (50/1), Darkest Hour (66/1), Aghinagh (125/1), Run Like Fada (150/1), Calcite (150/1), High Five Milan (200/1)

TREBIZOND sets a good standard here and is taken to go one better after back-to-back runner-up placings at Tramore and Wexford and open his account. Gordon Elliott's Yeats newcomer The Goffer catches the eye on paper and is highly respected, with Boom Boom Boom another who should have a say on the back of his Wexford third.
