Forecasts

Working Class Hero (9/4), Sir Vinny (10/3), Iron Sword (10/3), Returning Officer (9/2), Dieux Diligence (5/1), Ealu Tapa (11/2), Which Flannerys (7/1), She's A Divil (20/1), Lauro James (28/1), Union Boy (28/1), Seamy Appletart (28/1), It's Buster's Way (33/1), An Bhoireann (40/1), Dee Bee Zed (50/1), Farney Bridge (50/1), Hurricane Leaf (50/1), Woodie Wiley (50/1), Go Loud (66/1), Noble Trix (100/1), Harbour Man (100/1)

WORKING CLASS HERO improved on his opening effort under Rules when pushing a promising mare close here last month and gets the nod to make it third time lucky. Returning Officer understandably shaped as if needing the run after 15 months off at Kilbeggan recently and is better judged on his debut form for now, while Which Flannerys makes most appeal of the newcomers before market clues.
