Forecasts

Quornofamonday (5/2), Be My Hero (7/2), Master Breffni (4/1), Chemdawg (9/2), Mullins Cross (5/1), Gaelic Des Chastys (13/2), We'llgowats (8/1), Haveuseentherain (8/1), Tincurra Lad (14/1), Scottish Dancer (14/1), Kiss My Lucky Egg (28/1), Kingsofthemidlands (28/1), Romella (33/1), Windsor Diamond (33/1), Sunwalk (40/1), Save Tonight (50/1), Fanta Magic (66/1), Trenchtown Rock (80/1), Boston Bobby (80/1)

CHEMDAWG found improvement when second at Bellewstown last time and the form has been boosted by the winner, so she's fancied to go one better at the possible expense of We'llgowats, who is a big player if ready to go after 7 months off. Be My Hero is another one to consider.
