Forecasts

El Tesoro (2/1), Sam's Xpress (9/2), Coco Hill (7/1), Disco Bear (15/2), Zaza Zut (17/2), So Majestic (9/1), Oneplusone (9/1), Reinforce (12/1), Autumnal Breeze (16/1), Spirit Of Eagles (25/1), Jumra (50/1)

A winner at Dundalk in November, EL TESORO stepped up on his comeback run when a close third behind an improving pair at Cork 13 days ago and a repeat should see him go well here. Sam's Xpress is going the right way and rates a threat, along with Oneplusone.
