Forecasts

Barometer (3/1), Beer With The Boys (7/2), Gracesolution (9/2), Franno (15/2), Star Of Burma (17/2), The Truant (10/1), Der Mc (11/1), Morning Dew (14/1), Sicario (14/1), Fassbender (16/1), She's Good Company (20/1), Stellify (22/1), Dark Matter (25/1), Missy Zippy (25/1), Polar Peak (33/1), Knock Flyer (50/1), Sprawlers Revelry (200/1)

GRACESOLUTION arrives on the up and had a bit to spare when seeing off Barometer at Killarney three weeks ago, so she's fancied to uphold the form with that rival and complete the hat-trick. Beer With The Boys, who made all at Ballinrobe last time, is still well treated on old form, so he's another one to consider.
