Forecasts

Supersundae (1/6), Kilkee Bay (9/2), Marv Michael (11/2), Dorans Law (10/1), Ag Obair Go Crua (33/1), Donegal Danny (50/1), Claddagh Princess (50/1), A Year Older (50/1), Graigue Corner (50/1), Mayday Games (66/1), West Clare (66/1), Hurricane Joey (66/1), Battle Roar (66/1), Palmrock Road (66/1), Lauras Spirit (80/1), Me And Mrs Lee (100/1), Silin Alainn (100/1), Citizen Dan (100/1)

SUPERSUNDAE sets the bar very high for a race like this and can't be opposed. Marv Michael had heavy ground as an excuse for a poor run at Limerick last month and can bounce back to form and fill the forecast spot ahead of Gordon Elliott's Kilkee Bay.
