Forecasts

Positive Energy (10/3), Forlio (10/3), Step To Somewhere (7/1), Clifftop (17/2), Dabana (17/2), Question Of Class (9/1), Thefullbackline (9/1), Tartaraghan (11/1), Mr Mills (14/1), Picpoul (16/1), Gudrun Genberg (20/1), Mayo For Sam (22/1), Lady Montse (28/1), Kilbarry Jack (28/1), Designer Cailin (33/1), Chimeric (40/1)

POSITIVE ENERGY took a step back in the right direction and would have given the first two more to think about with a clear run at Galway last time, so he's preferred to Forlio in a race where the bulk of the field have something to prove.
