Forecasts

State's Evidence (3/1), Blame Thechampagne (10/3), Look At The Stars (5/1), St Laurence's Gate (6/1), Harry The Rogue (17/2), Victor's Choice (9/1), Glengarriff (18/1), Maria Land (20/1), Redondo (22/1), Lia Fail (25/1), Chou Chou (25/1), Poppadom (25/1), Not Far To Fall (28/1), Begleys Forge (33/1), Tartaraghan (50/1), A Daughtersdelight (50/1), Vangelis (66/1)

BLAME THECHAMPAGNE is probably worth another chance despite her Listowel disappointment as she'd gone well in a Group 3 prior to that. Look At The Stars and State's Evidence are a couple of interesting newcomers.
