Forecasts

Most Wanted (4/1), Riverina Charm (9/2), Expound (5/1), Party Central (5/1), Unterberg (6/1), Areana (8/1), Esculenta (8/1), Fernao (10/1), Actually (12/1), Chicago Storm (16/1), Influential Lady (25/1), Benzine (25/1), Art Of Silence (33/1), Dark Miss (50/1), Arc Eyes (66/1), Init Together (100/1), Bobbys Angel (100/1)

MOST WANTED belied a huge price to finish an excellent third at Leopardstown on debut in the autumn and he's worth a chance to open his account at the second attempt. Riverina Charm is open to improvement and ranks as a danger, while Party Central makes obvious appeal on his Flat debut.
