Forecasts

Carrigmoorna Rowan (1/1), Danton (11/2), Big Fish (17/2), Jack Sprat (9/1), Dear Ralphy (11/1), Came From Nothing (12/1), Micronormous (16/1), Broomfields Cave (16/1), Imprevu Du Large (20/1), Moonlight Artist (25/1), Sea Village (50/1), Benville Bridge (66/1), Chairman Fitz (200/1), Etoile Brillante (300/1), Wellwillya (300/1)

CARRIGMOORNA ROWAN opened his account in points at the second attempt and should be ready to do himself justice on Rules debut, so he's preferred to Broomfields Cave, who is the pick of those with bumper form. Imprevu du Large is also respected first time out.
