Forecasts

Douglas Dc (4/7), Igraine (7/2), Vocito (11/2), Evenwood Sonofagun (6/1), Razdan (7/1), Morepowertoya (25/1), Maud Ban (25/1), Lorca (33/1), Elle Dorado Rock (40/1), All About Beth (50/1), Stalagmite (80/1), The King Of Prs (100/1), Plough On (100/1), Black Barrel (100/1), Martelli (150/1), Kodi Moma (200/1)

DOUGLAS DC sets a clear standard and is selected to make the most of a good opportunity. Igraine carried her head awkwardly under pressure when narrowly denied at Cork last time, so Vocito, who could still have a bit more to offer in this sphere, is feared most.
