Forecasts

Ocean Manifest (2/1), Raydamann (3/1), Leaders Listen (10/3), Ina Mina (9/1), Positive Arbitrage (10/1), Sportingsilvermine (14/1), Gambino (16/1), Eshnunna (22/1), El Santarem (28/1), Daniels Dream (33/1), My Vonnie (40/1), Dahab (66/1), Whist (66/1), Reclaim (80/1), Point Of Ayre (125/1), Wanda The Fish (125/1), Celtic Druid (200/1), Lord Talbot (200/1)

RAYDAMANN continued this theme of race-by-race progress when runner-up at Dundalk a month ago and with that form the best on offer, he's the percentage call. Leaders Listen's debut was full of promise so he's second choice, ahead of Ocean Manifest.
