Forecasts

Nos Na Gaoithe (10/11), Evergreen And Red (11/4), Estepona Sun (3/1), Nonbinding (15/2), Sir Prince Edmond (15/2), Stay Local (16/1), L'Un Deux Trois (18/1), Abstract (20/1), Positive Thinker (33/1), Can't Stop Smiling (50/1), Champagne Trail (66/1), Willie Bob (80/1), Lovango (80/1)

NOS NA GAOITHE failed to land the odds at Listowel 2 months ago but is worth another chance in this company. Evergreen And Red is feared most ahead of Abstract.
