Forecasts

Karamoja (5/6), Karafon (7/4), Funiculi Funicula (4/1), Lady Rose Hackett (13/2), Lygon Lad (14/1), Melbourne Shamrock (14/1), Sheer Raz (18/1), Brown Boots (40/1), Uhavemeinstitches (66/1), The Mail Train (66/1), Chef's Kiss (66/1), Fourcardrun (66/1), I Ballyadam Moon (80/1), Royal Reprobate (80/1), River Vale (125/1), Pointe A Pitre (125/1), Alright George (150/1), Duce Bigalow (200/1), Ourgingernut (200/1), Beefeater (200/1), Notevenatext (200/1)

KARAFON was an excellent fifth starting out for this yard when stepped up to Grade 2 level at Leopardstown when last seen on Boxing Day and shades the vote over his new stablemate Karamoja, who showed plenty of ability in France. Lady Rose Hackett should be in the mix again.
