Forecasts

Cinammon Roll (5/2), Better Times (16/5), Coolboy Christy (4/1), Noble Name (4/1), Moody Girl (17/2), Found Beau (10/1), Chosen Leader (11/1), Coded Welder (16/1), Land The Plane (20/1), Glenary (28/1)

NOBLE NAME gets the vote to build on an encouraging first bumper run at Tipperary earlier this month. Better Times and Cinammon Roll made their Rules debuts on that same card at Tipperary and might be the pair to give Claire O'Connell's charge most to think about.
