Forecasts

Colcannon (8/11), That Danny Feeling (13/2), Gaoithe Glory (13/2), Knowing Me (17/2), O' Bon Pardon (17/2), Heads Up (14/1), James The Brave (33/1), Warriors Wood (50/1), Hei (66/1)

COLCANNON shaped well on a few occasions last season and can come good in this concluding bumper. Heads Up offered plenty to work on when sent off at only 5/2 on his Listowel debut and can provide the chief threat ahead of Gaoithe Glory, who was second in another bumper at the Listowel harvest festival.
