Forecasts

Ossie's Lodge (11/8), Tommies Call (9/4), Yeats Star (3/1), Perfect Nelson (9/1), Jacenry (9/1), Fourtowns (11/1), Paddy Elvis (12/1), Smokey Putnum (16/1), Winning Smut (25/1), Tramps Like Us (28/1), Crooked Tannie (33/1), Gulfam (40/1), Royal Noble (66/1), Captain Flint (66/1), Jepsone (80/1), Big Dispute (150/1)

This can go to TOMMIES CALL, who ran a cracker in a competitive bumper at Fairyhouse on debut last month and should have learnt plenty from that. Ossie's Lodge and Smokey Putnum rate the principal dangers.
