Forecasts

Golden Days (11/4), Rockbury Lad (4/1), Markievicz (8/1), Swiss Army Officer (17/2), Chica Power (14/1), Corballis Flyer (14/1), Inthepoorhouse (14/1), Allie Bear (14/1), Cheeky Peek (16/1), Maid To Shine (16/1), Blue Wood (16/1), Mass Gathering (20/1), I Know I Can (22/1), Lady Skipper (25/1), Navy Beach (25/1), Hastily (28/1), Final Check (28/1), Kami (33/1), Yester (33/1), Gidwa (33/1), Talking Tough (50/1), El Maga (50/1), Amazing One (50/1), Famous Enough (50/1), Short N Sweet (100/1)

ROCKBURY LAD has shaped well on both his starts this year and can defy his current mark granted a bit of luck in running in this big field. Markievicz had an excuse last time and is better judged on her Navan success. Golden Days completes the shortlist.
