Forecasts

Puturhandstogether (5/2), Tachos (11/2), Masoun (7/1), Everylittlestep (10/1), Rotolo (10/1), Slurricane (11/1), Karlsberg (12/1), French Company (14/1), Auguste Lumiere (16/1), Out On Friday (16/1), Solar Breeze (20/1), Nahori (20/1), Eyeeye (22/1), Golden Circet (25/1), Maralinga (25/1), Morse (25/1), Letiza (28/1), Sir Callisto (33/1), Hijo De La Luna (40/1), Stellium (40/1)

ROTOLO took a big step back in the right direction when finding only a progressive rival (whom she conceded first run to) too strong at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago and that suggests she's ready to strike. Puturhandstogether and Masoun are a couple of potential threats.
