Forecasts

El Capitaine (6/4), Jane Wilde (5/1), Malton Groove (6/1), Buddy One (7/1), I Am Rocco (15/2), Harvard Guy (17/2), Roccabaker (20/1), Duncarrig (22/1), Coole Vision (33/1), Neev's Dream (33/1), Soldaro (40/1), Away To Milan (100/1), Cool Croi (100/1), Carlas Big Jim (100/1), Ask Bob (150/1)

EL CAPITAINE showed plenty in a big-field maiden at Leopardstown over Christmas and a repeat of that form might be good enough to see him take this. Malton Groove can bounce straight back from his no-show here last month and provide the chief threat ahead of I Am Rocco.
