Forecasts

Eastbank Warrior (5/2), Mount Anglesby (11/4), Tell Me This (9/2), One Big Boum (5/1), Eoin's Charm (6/1), Granpa Ger (6/1), Marlpark (25/1), Silver Mill (25/1), On The Gandy Hop (25/1), Major Wells (25/1), Champagne Avenue (25/1), Dr Pep (25/1), Jack Booner (33/1), Youmzain Bolt (66/1), Three Tribes (80/1), Notevenatext (100/1), Im Here Now (100/1), Macantuile (150/1)

MOUNT ANGLESBY failed to justify favouritism at Tramore 10 days ago but it was by no means a bad start for this new yard and compensation may well await. Tell Me This and Eoin's Charm are a couple of potential dangers.
