Forecasts

Daily Present (5/2), Nine Graces (11/4), Prince Zaltar (4/1), Salmanino (9/2), Gringo D'aubrelle (11/1), Ossifer Hops (12/1), Enjoy D'allen (14/1), Clonmeen (20/1), Ringdufferin (25/1), Peaches And Cream (40/1)

DAILY PRESENT was firmly back on track when third at Fairyhouse 42 days ago and he's still not fully exposed, so he's preferred to Salmanino, who returned to form from out of the blue at Navan last time. Nine Graces should also be involved.
