Forecasts

He's Leading Me On (16/5), Presenting Lad (4/1), Our Bobby (6/1), Muntahez (9/1), Karla Martina (9/1), Alexharwill (10/1), Boston Brahmin (11/1), Clody Valley (12/1), No Conscience (12/1), Beat Of The Sea (14/1), Mister Rocket Man (16/1), Falcon Park (16/1), Tenth Amendment (20/1), Caridadi (22/1), Always Enchanting (33/1), Musical Melody (40/1), Elusive Point (40/1), Globetrottersivola (66/1)

HE'S LEADING ME ON arrives on the back of a very good Tramore second and is weighted to go one better here despite taking a 3 lb rise. Recent Punchestown second Muntahez is next on the list with Our Bobby and Karla Martina appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
