Forecasts

Winning Rascal (10/3), Ocojohn (4/1), Roccorionach (4/1), Twoplustwo Equals (5/1), The Holmeister (8/1), Shamrock'n Roll (12/1), Paddy Rocket (12/1), Fizzlestick (16/1), Bear Claws (18/1), Dr Mikey (20/1), Fongs Way (25/1), Eastern Tornado (40/1), Toor Hawk (50/1)

OCOJOHN's profile doesn't smack of consistency but he posted one of his better efforts when third at Wexford last time and a reproduction of that would give him every chance. Bear Claws struggled to make an impact at Listowel recently but he will be a threat if able to bounce back. Winning Rascal also has claims on the strength of his recent Listowel success and Twoplustwo Equals is another with possibilities in an open-looking race.
