Forecasts

Bonnie Kellie (7/2), Knockbrack Rambler (4/1), Cosmo Renfro (9/2), Wee Charlie (5/1), Beeverstown Place (13/2), Cosmic Rock (17/2), Without Exception (10/1), Dream Once More (18/1), Farrokh (20/1), Derridae (33/1), Deramore Park (66/1)

Preference is for KNOCKBRACK RAMBLER, who got off the mark at Cork last month and remains relatively unexposed. Cosmo Renfro and Beeverstown Place rate the principal dangers.
