Forecasts

Cafe Con Leche (4/1), Carried With Love (4/1), Nans View (11/2), Ifitwasme (11/2), Gotta Catch'em All (15/2), Beautiful Chaos (15/2), King Of The Bronx (9/1), Dumb Love (10/1), Status Green (11/1), Action Motion (12/1), Vierson (16/1), Guest Star (20/1), Saith Seren (22/1), Hopkins (22/1), Randall Poets Lass (25/1), Spanish John (28/1), Winged Victory (33/1), Pretty Soldier (40/1), Mayo For Sam (50/1), Saxon Land (66/1), Talking Tough (80/1)

The vote goes to CAFE CON LECHE, who looked more straightforward than usual and turned in his best effort for some time when collared close home at Navan last week. He is very appealing turned out again quickly off the same mark. Gotta Catch'em All failed by a whisker in a big-field handicap at the Curragh recently and is feared most ahead of Saith Seren.
