Forecasts

Still She Blooms (3/1), Unterberg (3/1), Morning Approach (5/1), Exceeding (11/2), So Messi (6/1), Saith Seren (6/1), Liamo (7/1), Lorr's Girl (9/1), Hale Bopp (12/1), Serafina (14/1), Jazz Dreamers (16/1), Relevant Range (16/1), Han Solo (20/1), Amanirenas (20/1), Crypto Crash (20/1), Ocean Diamond (22/1), My Minervina (25/1), Seven Eleven (150/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and LIAMO looks the way to go having taken his form up a notch when going in at Listowel last time out. Recent Bellewstown scorer Exceeding is feared most, although Still She Blooms, Morning Approach and Saith Seren all command plenty of respect too.
