Forecasts

Angelo Pio (3/1), Paddydaddy (3/1), Alba Chiara (7/2), Edergole's Angel (7/1), Sottsands (10/1), Camevere (11/1), Al What (12/1), Invigorated (20/1), Summer Island (22/1), Idomything (33/1), Immortal Jock (40/1), Vegas Whipper (66/1)

SOTTSANDS wasn't beaten far when fifth of 13 at Limerick earlier in the month and could be the answer if reproducing that effort. Old rivals Angelo Pio and Summer Island are feared most.
