Forecasts

Whacker Clan (7/4), Sammy Smart (7/2), Run For Pat (7/1), Pale Blue Dot (7/1), Don't Tell Allen (15/2), Hardwired (14/1), Rose Of Kalanisi (16/1), Ramondo Dnzeo (18/1), Susans Sensation (18/1), Castle On A Rock (22/1), Winstons Corner (33/1), Padraigs Boy (50/1), Positive Thinker (50/1), Miracle Millions (66/1), Larkins Luck (300/1), Secret Location (300/1), Policy Breaker (300/1)

RUN FOR PAT brings some fairly useful form to the table and is fancied to open his account now back in maiden company. Sammy Smart is feared most on the back of his good Cork second, with Rose of Kalanisi and Don't Tell Allen appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
