Forecasts

Forlio (18/5), Bear Profit (9/2), Nunc Est Bibendum (11/2), Nahori (11/2), Chicago Storm (9/1), Out On Friday (9/1), Someone's Wish (11/1), Tartaraghan (14/1), Alfheim (16/1), Albatala (16/1), Jawhary (18/1), Narragansett (20/1), Trueba (33/1), Wayside Lady (100/1), Promo Queen (100/1)

FORLIO shaped quite well from a poor draw at Roscommon last time and might prove the answer to this student derby. Last month's Naas scorer Chicago Storm rates an obvious danger, while Gordon Elliott's Someone's Wish also enters the reckoning on the back of a recent chase success. Nunc Est Bibendum rates a possible improver in handicaps and completes the shortlist.
