Forecasts

Mount Sinai (5/1), Ta Na La (7/1), Barry Lyndon (8/1), Anna Bunina (8/1), Mister Beeton (9/1), Cougar (9/1), Sea Music (10/1), That's About Right (10/1), Navigator Jack (12/1), Sequoiaspirit (12/1), Crooked Tannie (16/1), Yeats Star (16/1), Visionarian (16/1), Shesadream (40/1), Aarons Day (50/1)

MOUNT SINAI made a promising return when sixth at Galway last month and is fancied to take a sizeable step forward here. That's About Right heads the list of dangers on the back of his Wexford victory, although a solid case can also be made for Ta Na La, Sea Music and Crooked Tannie.
