Forecasts

Mywayofthinkin (6/5), Harbour Highway (9/5), Masterboy Davis (5/1), Syracus Du Houx (11/1), Net Boy (12/1), Black Heather (40/1), Lynchy Boy (50/1), Dance Floor Drama (100/1), Private Policy (125/1)

MYWAYOFTHINKIN made a positive start when runner-up at Leopardstown almost 3 months ago and the third has scored since, so he's worth a chance to go one better at the possible expense of points winner Harbour Highway. Masterboy Davis is open to improvement and worthy of consideration, too.
