Forecasts

Shanroe Act (9/2), Warmer Days Ahead (5/1), Great Island (5/1), Kinturk Maggie (5/1), Cosmo Renfro (17/2), Doyen Wolf (9/1), Back To Cali (10/1), Wakey Wakey Man (14/1), Dearg Mor (14/1), Glens Sensation (16/1), Thehardandthewild (18/1), Walkmethroughit (20/1), Ballinearla Girl (25/1), Give Her Hollie (25/1), Not So Proper (28/1), Little Boy Sivola (33/1), Larkins Lane (40/1), True Destiny (50/1)

Not nearly as competitive as the numbers suggest and BACK TO CALI looks the way to go on the back of a very good Down Royal third last time out. In-form top-weight Great Island is next on the list ahead of Give Her Hollie, Wakey Wakey Man and Cosmo Renfro.
