Forecasts

Serious Contender (1/1), Kilcrea Rock (9/4), Sujet (4/1), Zahrann (15/2), Medallion (8/1), Glimmer Of Hope (14/1), Raykir (16/1), Woodshaw Whisper (28/1), Highbury See See (66/1), Kasper Hauser (66/1), Ice Jet (150/1), The Angelic Doctor (150/1)

KILCREA ROCK made a really promising start behind Sujet at the Curragh and might be able to improve past that one now and open his account. Serious Contender seems sure to win races judged on his Tipperary showing and has to be in the reckoning.
