Forecasts

Granpa Ger (11/2), Whatsafellatodo (7/1), Burru (7/1), Liberated Light (9/1), Wee Charlie (10/1), In For The Night (10/1), The Vegas Raider (10/1), Tomas O Maille (12/1), Only One Plan (12/1), Targa Flavio (14/1), Mephisto (14/1), Michal (14/1), Gekkota (16/1), Gustavo Goodway (18/1), Makfils (20/1), Only A Dollar (25/1), Benzine (33/1), Glentruan (33/1), Fear The Deere (40/1), Dream Shaper (66/1), Department Of War (66/1)

GRANPA GER is on the up and would have gone closer to winning with a clear run when second at Tramore last time, so he's the most appealing in an open-looking contest. Mephisto should be on the premises and there's a case to be made for Burru, who shaped well at Killarney recently.
