Forecasts

Back Tomorrow (1/2), Della (11/10), Fair And Square (5/1), Done Decision (5/1), Cobh Harbour (13/2), Woody Dare (33/1), Sir Sidney Smith (66/1), Withy Rock (150/1), The Tiger Tank (150/1)

DELLA just holds the edge on form and with better likely to come after a break she's fancied to hit the bullseye and get the better of Back Tomorrow, who may be set for runner-up spot once more. Newcomer Cobh Harbour appeals on paper and is another who can have a say, especially if the market talks in his favour.
