Forecasts

My Friend The Wind (3/1), Inchidaly Copper (5/1), Agirlcalledchloe (6/1), A Nod To Getaway (7/1), Donnrua Dream (7/1), Definiteadare (17/2), Da Big Fella (11/1), Ardfert Mary (11/1), Maciver (11/1), Man Of The House (14/1), Tuff Days (14/1), He Fitz In (28/1)

DEFINITEADARE has dipped in the weights and could be worth chancing back at the scene of his last success under Michael O'Sullivan. Man of The House and A Nod To Getaway are a couple of others to consider.
