Forecasts

Kildorrery (7/2), Nelly's Money (9/2), The Dara Man (5/1), Charlie Stout (13/2), Defan (7/1), Optical Confusion (9/1), She Tops The Lot (14/1), One Down (14/1), Presenting Dylan (16/1), Jack Holiday (20/1), My Oakclahome (20/1)

NELLY'S MONEY was in the process of running well (booked for second behind Kildorrery) when departing 2 out at Cork 2 weeks ago and is clearly in top form at present. Kildorrery rates a big danger despite being 6 lb worse off with the selection, with Optical Confusion another possible threat if ready to go.
