Forecasts

Colcannon (5/2), Splendid Fellow (3/1), Newbrook Diamond (5/1), Mossy Way (6/1), Tyson Fury (8/1), Brother Walfrid (17/2), Claude Du Val (9/1), Brave Brigadier (9/1), Thiscouldbetheone (14/1), Fun Daddy (28/1), Mont St Michel (33/1), Eben Zaabeel (40/1), God The Highness (50/1), Crystal Yeats (50/1), Blue Du Neuf (50/1), Deep Warrior (66/1), Good Thoughts (66/1), Theabsolutegov'nor (80/1), Chopsticks (80/1), Codger's Rock (80/1), Midfield Magic (100/1), Il Pirata (100/1), Old Saxony (125/1), Herecomesmybaby (200/1), Thatsmyroadie (250/1), Zarushio (300/1), Clonbury Court (300/1), Areema Dreamer (300/1)

The Cork race SPLENDID FELLOW finished second in back in December worked out very well and with further progress anticipated, he could be the answer. Drying ground may help Colcannon and he really should have a bigger performance in him over hurdles, with Newbrook Diamond expected to be thereabouts.
