Forecasts

Naoi (5/4), Bonus Time (11/8), Cold Hearted (5/1), Suerte (12/1), Glory To Be (33/1), Charasson (50/1), Never Not Lucky (50/1), Yquem (66/1), Akashaa (125/1), Glasheen Girl (250/1)

This can go to BONUS TIME, who made an encouraging debut at Cork earlier this month and should have learnt plenty from that. Naoi and Cold Hearted look the likeliest dangers.
