Forecasts

Emancipator (3/1), Earths Furies (4/1), Golden Glen (5/1), Joy Of Life (6/1), Sean Says (13/2), Carrolls Cottage (8/1), Pana To Milan (10/1), Eddies Pride (14/1)

C&D winner EMANCIPATOR looked on the up until pulled up at Gowran and is taken to return in style after a break. Sean Says is next on the list on the back of his solid Thurles fourth ahead of the handily-weighted Joy of Life.
