Forecasts

Spanish John (10/3), Made In The Woods (4/1), King Gris (13/2), Ballinaboola Jet (8/1), Burlington House (9/1), Rajjnatin (10/1), Cooltubrid Eva (10/1), Wakey Wakey Man (11/1), The Little Yank (12/1), Avandra (12/1), Winter Carnival (14/1), Build A Bridge (14/1), Johngus (14/1), Real Empire (14/1), Brianna Lily (18/1), Glens Sensation (25/1), Biddy Early (50/1), Sekakarma (50/1), Slea Head (66/1)

The vote goes to AVANDRA, who should come on for her run at Wexford where she was returning from a three-month break and a further 3 lb drop in the weights will help, too. The Little Yank is on a workable mark and may emerge as the main danger, though Spanish John is also likely to be in the mix.
