Forecasts

I Am Spider Man (7/4), Brehon Star (2/1), Lesssaidthebetter (7/1), Monoxide (8/1), Seskin Flyer (10/1), Nabraska (14/1), Padraic's Choice (16/1), Shean Glory (20/1), Copia Verborum (33/1), Deo Bellator (50/1), Caridadi (50/1)

Poor stuff and BREHON STAR can follow up his Tramore victory. I Am Spider Man is interesting on his chase debut, while Monoxide could also go well.
