Forecasts

Theonewedreamof (5/2), Dollar Value (5/1), Too Bright (6/1), Bolero (13/2), Rock On Pedro (12/1), Deep Sigh (12/1), Benz (12/1), Lex Maxima (14/1), Kanzino (14/1), Loudest Whisper (14/1), Carslake (16/1), Ferrum (20/1), Yenillik (20/1), The Riastrad (20/1), Siofra (20/1), Duke Otto (25/1), Mojazaffah (25/1), Double Kodiac (33/1), Tenth Amendment (50/1)

THEONEWEDREAMOF caught the eye with a strong finish at Thurles last time and, with cheekpieces back on, he makes most appeal. Dollar Value's mark looks potentially favourable as he returns to the Flat and Bolero should play a part if she's tuned up for her return.
