Forecasts

Messerschmitt (6/4), Ceol Draiochta (11/4), Game Phoenix (11/2), Solar Drive (6/1), Sinbad My Dad (12/1), Teriferma (14/1), Tyder (28/1), There's No Limit (50/1), More Profit (66/1), T Or Coffey (80/1), Solar Falcon (80/1), Set The Tone (80/1), My Teofilo (100/1), Coruscate (150/1)

CEOL DRAIOCHT is the percentage call on the back of last week's promising Ballinrobe second, although Noel Meade's Messerschmitt could pose a big threat if translating his Flat ability to hurdles. C&D runner-up Game Phoenix looks best of the rest.
