Forecasts

Cruisin Susan (4/1), Craic Eile (5/1), Mrs Biddle (8/1), Fire Coral (9/1), Scottish Dancer (10/1), Roman Parish (10/1), Beechroad Winnie (14/1), Ballerina Boxer (14/1), Garcon Doux (14/1), Loup De Tallane (16/1), Hees Dynamite (16/1), Rossies Tara (16/1), Noriska De La Mare (18/1), And Still I Rise (20/1), Walkonthebriteside (20/1), Smitty Bacall (22/1), Close Enough (25/1), Oogum Boogum (33/1), Glorious Singer (40/1)

CRUISIN SUSAN took advantage of a drop in the weights with a ready success at Wexford last week and remains on a handy mark under a penalty. Beechroad Winnie is a potential threat if ready to go after 14 months out, while there wasn't much between Scottish Dancer and Mrs Biddle when first and second at Downpatrick last month.
