Forecasts

Midnight Our Fred (2/1), Banjaxed (9/4), Charlie Luciano (11/4), Jasmin De Cotte (10/3), Caesar Rock (9/2), Kilashee (8/1), The Echo Boy (10/1), Palace Rock (14/1), Sweet Will (20/1)

CHARLIE LUCIANO looked ahead of his mark last time and has a fully-fledged rider back on board, so he gest the nod over Kilashee, who showed a good attitude to score at Roscommon 5 days ago. Banjaxed also merits plenty of respect.
