Forecasts

Evening Saigon (2/1), Alfred Tennyson (2/1), Rock N Roll Rocket (4/1), Powerful Lady (5/1), Kilmood Susan (11/2), Brosay (8/1), Desert Cyclone (40/1), Katie Ross (50/1)

Preference is for ROCK N ROLL ROCKET, who got off the mark at the first time of asking at Cork earlier this month and is entitled to build on that. Powerful Lady acquitted herself well in the same contest and could be dangerous, whilst Evening Saigon and Alfred Tennyson are newcomers to note.
