Forecasts

One Big Boum (15/8), Depalma (11/4), Stoneyford Lady (11/4), Coole Cottage (10/1), Make Sunshine (14/1), Buttoned Up (20/1), Light Of Life (25/1), The Dooner Citizen (33/1), Callmedusty (40/1), It's His Life (50/1), Joe Hannigan (100/1)

With the promise of better to come from DEPALMA, he may well find the necessary improvement to get the better of One Big Boum and Stoneyford Lady in this maiden. Colm Murphy's charge wasn't knocked about on his recent spin following a break at Galway and is entitled to come on for that.
