Forecasts

Killaney King (9/2), Lambay Island (5/1), Luker's Tipple (6/1), Colonia Victoria (7/1), Scalpnagoon (8/1), Ragmans Corner (10/1), Black Bamboo (12/1), Party President (12/1), San Hilario (12/1), Jazzy Rock (12/1), Balko D'ange (16/1), Kate Knows Best (25/1), I A Connect (33/1), Petit King (33/1)

COLONIA VICTORIA is on the up since joining Paul Nolan and fancied to make a winning handicap debut on the back of a promising Wexford second. Henry de Bromhead's duo Lambay Island (second choice) and Killaney King both rate big threats though, while Kate Knows Best and Black Bamboo complete the shortlist.
