Forecasts

Tara Power (10/3), Wychwood Whisper (5/1), The Bog Bank (11/2), Royal Scholar (13/2), Shawaf (9/1), Indiana Grey (10/1), Tanseeq (10/1), Phoenix Open (11/1), Designer Cailin (12/1), Maccliff (12/1), Capla Knight (12/1), Kaswarah (14/1), Tynamite (20/1), Vlad The Impaler (28/1), Step Back In Time (40/1), Silver Nemo (50/1), Riliya (50/1)

It might be worth chancing DESIGNER CAILIN back on AW as she's dipped to 5 lb below her last winning mark in November. Tara Power is a former C&D winner and arrives on the back of a good run at Bellewstown so he's a possible big threat. Phoenix Open and The Bog Bank are others to consider.
