Forecasts

Ferrybank (6/1), Passionate (6/1), Global Energy (15/2), Brains (8/1), Everylittlestep (17/2), Sirjack Thomas (9/1), Arch Enemy (10/1), Karlsberg (10/1), Alessia Fernanda (10/1), El Bello (11/1), Boadicea Belle (12/1), Not Forgotten (14/1), Royal Pippen (14/1), Talia (14/1), Church Mountain (14/1), Shigar (16/1), Emeric (16/1), Givemehoperosa (18/1), Jazz Forever (25/1), Hijo De La Luna (40/1), Hasiyna (50/1), The World's Astage (50/1), Sapristi (66/1)

The vote goes to PASSIONATE, who opened her account in good style at Killarney recently and a 13 lb rise may not be enought to prevent her from going in again. Karlsberg got his head back in front at Cork and looks set for another prominent showing, while the in-form Ferrybank is also shortlisted, along with Brains.
