Forecasts

Dollar Value (5/4), I Am Spider Man (16/5), Routine Excellence (11/2), Boom Boom Boom (8/1), Brianna Lily (14/1), Cozone (14/1), Teagarden Jazz (16/1), Wild Shot (25/1), Gino Drummer Boy (25/1), Circus Act (25/1), Jackady (25/1), Un Des Flos (25/1), Walmix (28/1), Ballerina Boxer (50/1), Grand Cru Chatho (80/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and BOOM BOOM BOOM, favoured by these weights, gets the nod at the chief expense of Brianna Lily who wasn't seen to best effect when seventh at Wexford last time. Downpatrick runner-up Dollar Value can also have a say.
