Forecasts

Recite A Prayer (11/2), Dromore Lad (6/1), Siberian Prince (6/1), Glenloe (8/1), Captain Kangaroo (11/1), Defi Bleu (11/1), Mister Fogpatches (11/1), Diol Ker (11/1), Braeside (12/1), Fully Charged (14/1), Screaming Colours (14/1), Spades Are Trumps (14/1), Waitnsee (22/1), Glorious Galway (25/1), Smoking Gun (28/1), Influential Lady (40/1), Definite Plan (66/1)

RECITE A PRAYER was back to form in the Kerry National last time and looks set to put up another bold showing. Siberian Prince is consistent and looks a danger, while last year's first and second, Braeside and Screaming Colours shouldn't be dismissed.
