Forecasts

Zephron (4/1), The Bog Bank (6/1), Rock Dandy (13/2), Hope And Innocence (7/1), Trueba (8/1), Manhattan Dandy (8/1), Miss Slovakia (9/1), Golden Days (10/1), Snowdonia Song (11/1), Punk Poet (12/1), Storm Eric (18/1), Theriverrunsdeep (18/1), Lisabetta (22/1), Static Charge (25/1), Flaming O'Hara (50/1), Will Be King (80/1), Dreamingofdelaney (125/1)

Preference is for GOLDEN DAYS, who got back on the winning trail at Fairyhouse last time and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper for that victory. Miss Slovakia and The Bog Bank head the list of dangers.
