Forecasts

Caesar Rock (11/4), Macs Charm (3/1), Clarabello (4/1), Fangio De Vassy (11/2), Mutual Respect (7/1), Mrs Kinsella (14/1), Elmount (18/1), Tohellortoconnacht (28/1), Onesenough (33/1), Ashlea Dawn (50/1), Taxi Rank (50/1), O Mio Babbino (66/1), Port Luna (66/1), Bard Of Eirn (100/1), Call Me Rocco (125/1)

CAESAR ROCK may prove the answer to what looks a weak maiden. Macs Charm is very much in the mix based on the level he achieved on his first 2 starts, while Fangio de Vassy is also sure to play a big part if cheekpieces help him to recapture anything like the form he showed on his debut last Christmas.
