Forecasts

Marronstown (9/2), Atacanter (9/2), Robinstown (5/1), The Abbey (11/2), Danny The Fence (15/2), Old Soul (15/2), Dr Val (10/1), Routine Excellence (10/1), The Dabbler (16/1), Weihnachts (22/1), Amaulino (66/1)

Verdict

ATACANTER came clear of the rest when second at Limerick 3 weeks ago and, with a performance of similar merit, he might well be able to go one better. Routine Excellence and The Abbey could pose the main threats.
