Forecasts

Womalko (2/1), Pats Choice (9/2), Itwasfate (5/1), Mount Brown (13/2), Irish Blaze (7/1), Paidi's Passion (9/1), Bythesametoken (10/1), Dont Go Yet (18/1), General Dynamics (150/1)

WOMALKO gets the nod to build on a promising comeback run at Clonmel a fortnight ago. Henry de Bromhead's Itwasfate is feared most ahead of the thriving Paidi's Passion and the selection's stablemate Pats Choice.
