Forecasts

Ellen Kelly (5/4), Sansrisk (13/8), Ocean Brew (3/1), Wild Mandate (5/1), Katie's Casper (8/1), Molly Molone (12/1), Road To Mallow (16/1), Vroomvroomboo (28/1), Dontcall (33/1), Mrs Wemyss (40/1)

Point-winner OCEAN BREW shaped with promise when runner-up at Cork over Easter and looks up to winning one of these. Ellen Kelly is an obvious threat given her stable, while Wild Mandate was progressive in the early part of last season.
