Forecasts

Ballinearla Girl (4/1), Sekifi (9/2), Struck Oil (5/1), Pourquoi Poi (6/1), Ocean Of Dreams (15/2), Concert Party (15/2), Ode To Joy (9/1), Boston Bobby (10/1), Atlantic Wonder (14/1), Penny Jar (18/1), Tropical Twist (18/1), Bella Union (22/1), Getaway Blondie (28/1), Jurality (33/1), Boston Breeze (33/1), Harley Street (33/1), Spread The Faith (33/1), Zarushio (40/1), Krishna Bellevue (66/1)

BOSTON BOBBY took his form up a notch when gaining a breakthrough victory here recently and can defy a 6 lb weights rise at the chief expense of resurgent Clonmel third Ballinearla Girl. Concert Party and Ode To Joy also need factoring in.
