Forecasts

Most Wanted (3/1), Riverina Charm (10/3), Party Central (7/2), Actually (4/1), Expound (4/1), Esculenta (9/2), Areana (10/1), Stuntman (14/1), Nicky's Champ (16/1), Chicago Storm (25/1), Humtaza (40/1), Old Peculier (50/1), Benzine (125/1), Arc Eyes (125/1), Akaabir (150/1), Encore De Mer (150/1), Bobbys Angel (150/1), Windy And Cold (150/1), Dark Miss (150/1), Init Together (200/1)

PARTY CENTRAL presumably has Punchestown on her radar again but she returns in a very winnable maiden for her first start on the level and could be too good. Most Wanted has appealing claims after shaping well first time up in a good Leopardstown maiden in October. Riverina Charm and Esculenta are also in the mix.
