Forecasts

Mister Beeton (11/2), Folly Beach (13/2), Dorans Law (7/1), Slane Hill (15/2), Riyami (15/2), Its Not Over Yet (8/1), Hypersonic Missile (17/2), Big Stage (10/1), Slieve Carran (12/1), Cougar (12/1), Cozone (14/1), Sammy Smart (16/1), Somptueux (16/1), Sundial (18/1), Wild Shot (25/1), Conron (28/1), Story Rory (66/1)

ITS NOT OVER YET is going the right way and had plenty to spare when scoring at Roscommon last time, so she gets the nod over Folly Beach, who also has potential for better still. Dorans Law is also worthy of consideration.
