Forecasts

Boundless Ocean (10/11), Karakoul (10/3), Ivy League (6/1), Malex (7/1), Culcor (15/2), Admiralty Place (14/1), Brown Eagle (28/1), Black Hawk Eagle (33/1), Pessoa (40/1), Eighty Eight (50/1), Stayincotai (50/1), Lofoten (66/1), Asisaid (66/1), Midnight Treasure (100/1), Cheers Again (100/1), Rocket Carnival (150/1), The Lion Strikes (150/1), All In Peder (150/1), Man Johnny (150/1), Lifeinthefastlane (200/1), Oneofararekind (200/1), The Cola Brasil (250/1), Aghaboy (300/1)

BOUNDLESS OCEAN showed useful form when not beaten far in a couple of Group 3s at Leopardstown in October and sets a clear standard back in a maiden on return. Karakoul left his debut well behind when going close in a decent Killarney maiden in the summer so is a potential threat, while Ivy League and Culcor are a couple of well-bred newcomers to note.
