Forecasts

Tiger Paw (5/4), Simpson's Paradox (4/1), Lasmuigh (13/2), Hellsing (13/2), Pearling Path (7/1), Matilda Picotte (8/1), Comhra (9/1), Badb (11/1), Mucky Mulconry (12/1), Makeeverydaycount (20/1), Woodcock Flight (22/1), Tic Tac Toe (25/1), Belatucadros (40/1), Aurifodina (50/1), Grey Fable (50/1), Static Charge (80/1), Rumbled Again (100/1), Calgary Mounty (100/1), Maidstone (125/1)

TIGER PAW failed to meet expectations but still ran to a fair level when third on debut at Dundalk (5f) 3 weeks ago and, with improvement anticipated on the back of that effort, he gets the nod to build on that and come out on top. Simpson's Paradox is a most appealing newcomer and feared, along with Hellsing and Lasmuigh.
