Forecasts

Paddys Planet (10/11), Crosshouse Boy (9/2), Eternal Story (5/1), Ashlea Dawn (7/1), Barncroft (10/1), Time Budget (20/1), Eddies Pride (22/1), Herculaneum (25/1), Abbeyfeale (50/1), Lovely Hans (80/1), Ten Minutes (150/1), Harry Do Brasil (200/1), Bugscuffle (200/1)

PADDYS PLANET rates the clear pick on form and looks the way to go here with more improvement in the pipelines too. In-form mare Ashlea Dawn is next on the list, with Abbeyfeale appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
