Forecasts

Monasterboice (3/1), Clear Quartz (7/2), San Aer (9/2), Genuine Article (5/1), Bill Silvers (5/1), Scholarship (10/1), Emporio (12/1), Casanova (20/1), Firebrand (22/1), Bright Legend (33/1), New Definition (80/1), Munroh (100/1), Tribal Moon (125/1)

MONASTERBOICE hasn't looked back since front-running tactics have been employed and can make it 4 wins in a row under Colin Keane. Billy Lee gets the leg up on San Aer who is feared most ahead of Joseph O'Brien's Emporio. Casanova could also have a big say if staging a revival.
