Forecasts

Emerald Banner (7/4), Annie Edson Taylor (3/1), Monasterboice (7/2), Grand City Hall (11/2), Ringabella (13/2), Bleak Midwinter (8/1), Speedwood (12/1), Ocean Moon (14/1), Times In Oz (20/1), Desert Power (20/1), Eurielle (33/1), Movento (50/1), Making A Move (150/1), Marclaflo Diamond (250/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but MONASTERBOICE advertised his well-being when a very good recent Curragh third so edges the vote from Emerald Banner, who holds excellent form claims if shrugging off a lesser effort at Dundalk last time out. Returning duo Annie Edson Taylor and Grand City Hall both command plenty of respect too.
