Forecasts

Minella Crooner (2/5), Eye Van (16/5), Dublin Calling (15/2), Lady Rita (12/1), Cru Bourgeois (20/1), Don't Tell Allen (28/1), Listentillitellyea (40/1), Greige (50/1), Golas Tiep (50/1), Friends N Commerce (80/1), Kilcasey Gold (100/1), Ballykeeffe (150/1), Cardinal Rule (200/1)

This can go to MINELLA CROONER, who offered plenty to work on when runner-up at Leopardstown last month and should relish this stiffer test. Eye Van and Dublin Calling should also go well.
