Forecasts

Causeway (11/8), Sindagan (11/4), Circle Of Life (4/1), Never Ever (15/2), Iron Lily (12/1), Big Cypress (12/1), Ardad Ned (20/1), Dubai Opulence (28/1), Believe Believe (66/1), Loch Gamhna (100/1), Dawson Street (125/1), Unauthorized (200/1), Big Bill (250/1), Boston Max (250/1)

SINDAGAN made a bright start at Naas a fortnight ago and can strike with improvement forthcoming. Causeway has more to offer after making a promising debut himself, while Never Ever and Big Cypress are appealing newcomers for Joseph O'Brien.
