Forecasts

Burning Lake (5/2), Tynamite (10/3), Teddy Boy (6/1), Caesar's Comet (7/1), Fit For Function (9/1), Manhattan Dandy (9/1), Kendred Soul (10/1), Persian Wolf (14/1), Robert Guiscard (20/1), Stamp Of Authority (22/1), Misty At Sea (22/1), Wrapitup (25/1), Monsieur Piquer (25/1), Shawaf (25/1), Briseuse De Coeur (28/1), Mass Gathering (33/1), Chica Power (40/1)

A tentative vote goes to TEDDY BOY, who is better judged on his previous second at Laytown having been left with too much to do at this course last time. Burning Lake had been shaping up well prior to a poor run over C&D last month, so is worth another chance, while Tynamite ought to be on the premises again.
