Forecasts

Lisamaria (5/2), Patrick Street (5/1), Stormie Outlook (7/1), Saffronandblue (9/1), Awqaat (10/1), Old Peculier (10/1), Queen Mab (10/1), Samhradh (10/1), Lisabetta (12/1), Men Of Dreams (12/1), Susiesparkle (14/1), Kartayaz (16/1), Miss Molly T (25/1), Just Another Eagle (28/1), My Birthday Girl (33/1), Talking Tough (40/1), Wish Me (80/1)

LISAMARIA had an excuse last time (second run in quick succession) and might be able to come good with Colin Keane back in the saddle. Stormie Outlook, Queen Mab and recent Navan scorer Patrick Street head the dangers.
