Forecasts

Gaelic Des Chastys (9/2), Crowsatedappletart (11/2), Likable Chancer (11/2), Father Jed (13/2), Kadys Dirha (7/1), Aliunde (8/1), Finnians Row (8/1), Cullenwaine (8/1), Coco Lightning (10/1), Joe's Turn (12/1), Ivane (14/1), Fr Gilligansvoyge (14/1), Coastguard Lady (20/1), Chateau Elan (20/1), Lucky Policy (22/1), Justakeg (25/1), Daicheadacuig (66/1)

FINNIANS ROW's strike rate understandably tempers enthusiasm, but he returned to form with positive tactics re-employed when second at Wexford recently and shades the vote over another in-form sort in the shape of Crowsatedappletart. Cullenwaine has been in good nick over hurdles himself of late and is also worth a second look returned to this sphere.
