Forecasts

Inishfallen (7/4), Little Empire (2/1), Brewing (5/1), Exquisite Acclaim (6/1), Venetian (16/1), Zabriskie Point (20/1), The Liffey (28/1), Alfred Tennyson (50/1)

LITTLE EMPIRE has had a good spell here this winter and might be able to get his head back in front, perhaps at the main expense of another course specialist Exquisite Acclaim. Inishfallen may prove best of the remainder for last year's winning stable.
