Forecasts

Spinola Bay (5/4), Tatateo (11/4), Zuzukel (7/2), Youlita (11/2), Kamino Bello (13/2), Youneedabitofluck (10/1), Glenrush Bay (25/1), Under Cover (66/1)

ZUZUKEL shaped well when a close second at Punchestown in November and gets a narrow vote ahead of Gordon Elliott's recent Leopardstown scorer Spinola Bay. Youlita could also play a prominent role if fully primed after 7 months off.
