Forecasts

Moonovercloon (4/1), El Champo (5/1), Gold Speed (5/1), Extrapolation (6/1), Walk Out (13/2), Clifftop (13/2), Cottie (7/1), Bynx (10/1), Rathnaleen Kal (10/1), Spring Meadow (11/1), Mighty Mo Missouri (12/1), Atacanter (14/1), Rocket Spirit (33/1), Kendancer (40/1), Eclair De Beaufeu (40/1), Swelltime (66/1)

There should be more to come from EL CHAMPO, who made a winning handicap debut at Kilbeggan last month and remains low mileage. Moonovercloon and Gold Speed head the list of dangers.
