Forecasts

Inforapenny (11/4), Well Joey (4/1), Glenmalure Lodge (4/1), Ardera Ru (5/1), Eaton Lady (6/1), No Way Pedro (13/2), Buto (7/1), Homard De Chausey (17/2), Coolroe Lady (12/1), Viking Hoard (14/1), Joyful Noise (16/1), Watermelon Girl (16/1), Western Doyen (16/1), Thebabyman (18/1), Annie Iraya (18/1), Bold Hero (25/1), Ostaiocht (28/1)

INFORAPENNY has been holding his form well and might be worth chancing on the back of a good third at Roscommon 18 days ago. Well Joey also looks a player and Coolroe Lady has the scope for improvement now handicapping, so she's one to monitor in the betting.
