Forecasts

Three By Two (4/1), Casey West (4/1), De Nordener (9/2), Wine An Dine (5/1), John The Spark (9/1), Tech Talk (12/1), Albaquirky (14/1), Knockiel Synge (20/1), Transprint (20/1), Commander Of Ten (25/1), Haggard (28/1), Fountain House (33/1), Michael's Pick (33/1), Mandilou (125/1), Rathcannon Violet (125/1), Bonny Dazzler (200/1)

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and CASEY WEST looks the way to go on the back of a career-best Clonmel success. Gordon Elliott's newcomer Wine An Dine could emerge as the chief danger ahead of last year's winner Three By Two.
