Forecasts

Keep On Dreaming (11/8), West Of Carrig (5/2), Last Round (7/2), Ya Will Ya (5/1), Muskerry Rock (15/2), Long Road (20/1), Nibbles (28/1), Revolut Ned (33/1), Made U Look (40/1), Tea In The Park (50/1), Sir Benduff (50/1), Cold Old Fire (80/1), Pour Me A Double (80/1), Winning Paddy (80/1), Samdegoda (80/1)

Expected to derive above-average improvement from his Rules debut at Tipperary, KEEP ON DREAMING could be the answer for his powerful stable. West of Carrig sets a solid standard, while recent point winner Ya Will Ya is a threat if coping with regulation fences.
