Forecasts

Lan Cinnte (5/4), Malbay Madness (7/2), Genuine Article (9/2), Sea Gardens (7/1), Semblance Of Order (15/2), Duke Of Leggagh (11/1), Rhythm King (14/1)

There should be more to come from recent Killarney maiden winner GENUINE ARTICLE and he can give the weight away on handicap debut. Sea Gardens is another who appeals as a likely improver now handicapping and he's second choice ahead of Lan Cinnte.
