Forecasts

What Path (5/2), Brookie (9/2), A Law Of Her Own (5/1), Second Subaltern (13/2), Island Mccoo (17/2), Moonovercloon (12/1), Cyndi's Girl (14/1), Bridal Knot (18/1), Attaboyarchie (18/1), Dalgan Park (18/1), Joshua Chamberlain (22/1), Notnowned (25/1), West Clare (28/1), Thecompanysergeant (50/1), Bowtie (50/1), Soldier Solid (50/1), Creggs Cross (50/1), Max Time (50/1), Song For My Father (66/1), Sameasiteverwas (66/1), Brians Greatescape (150/1)

The market should reveal plenty here. ISLAND MCCOO hails from a top yard and is taken to make a winning start at the chief expense of Downpatrick second What Path. Second Subaltern also has the form to have a say and is much respected too along with Sligo bumper fourth Attaboyarchie.
