Forecasts

Beaumadier (3/1), Two Stars (3/1), Greek Flower (16/5), Billboa (10/3), National Question (10/1), Cholita (12/1), Irish Rocket (22/1), Pineapple Island (28/1), Oneplusone (33/1), So Majestic (40/1), Ranko Express (40/1), Ano Manna (50/1), Capallcliste (50/1), Bright Image (80/1), Strath Dancer (100/1), Hello Possible (100/1), Ceres Ring (150/1)

Plenty of runners but not many likely winners, with GREEK FLOWER getting the vote after a couple of good runs at Dundalk in the autumn. Two Stars is an interesting newcomer, while Oneplusone is another to note.
