Forecasts

The Tide Turns (9/4), Champion Green (5/2), Vera Verto (3/1), Hms Seahorse (10/3), Brazil (10/1), Lucaya (25/1), Igraine (28/1), Ages Of Man (33/1), Alice Kitty (40/1), Gamigin (50/1), Lakomet Of Saints (50/1), Go Large (66/1), Charlie's Yard (80/1), The Role Model (100/1), Magic Word (125/1), Brehon Star (125/1), Great Realisation (150/1), Queenie Newall (150/1), Halcyon Spirit (150/1), I Doubt That (250/1), Numidia (250/1), To Dream (250/1), Kodi Moma (250/1)

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest, and CHAMPION GREEN is fancied to build on promising Limerick second and open his account in this sphere. Gordon Elliott's newcomer The Tide Turns was a fair winner on the level and is feared most, although Vera Verto has the form to play a part too and can't be ruled out.
