Forecasts

King Of The Bronx (4/1), Cramers Valley (4/1), Charlies Pride (13/2), On The Tide (15/2), Old Kenmare (15/2), A Nod To Getaway (8/1), Queen Of Seduction (9/1), The Dooner Citizen (12/1), Mahlers Cove (16/1), Fernhill Fling (16/1), Good Bye Milan (16/1), No Big Deal (16/1), The Vegas Raider (22/1), Southgate Avenue (22/1), Inthenickoftime (25/1), Hit The Frame (25/1), Fourcardrun (25/1), Opera Point (33/1), Like A Bumblebee (33/1), Romella (50/1), Better Than Heaven (50/1), Cullagh Pride (66/1), Highland Earl (80/1)

OLD KENMARE and King of The Bronx are both open to improvement and could be the pair to concentrate on, though Charlies Pride will also be a threat if anywhere near his best back from an 11-month absence. Marginal preference is for Old Kenmare, who improved when finding just one too good at Clonmel last time. Several of the others are plausible each-way candidates, including A Nod To Getaway, Cramers Valley and Romella.
