Forecasts

The Yellow Clay (4/6), Cappucino (11/4), Ossie's Lodge (10/1), Jeriko De Baune (12/1), Stuntman Steve (16/1), Colleen Danu (18/1), Familiar Dreams (22/1), Miss Gherkin (40/1), My Good Pal (100/1), Khewilltu (200/1)

THE YELLOW CLAY looked a good prospect when scoring at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago and he's fancied to on in again. Colleen Danu also made a positive start and he looks the main danger, while Cappucino can't be ruled out.
