Forecasts

Apollo's Comet (2/1), Sea Of Rain (5/2), Miss Ellie Mae (3/1), Tosca No Candis (11/2), Leadlight (16/1), Miss Cornelia (20/1), Bold Move (25/1), Dakota Jack (25/1), Matrook (40/1), Docks (100/1), Chiquitita Bee (500/1)

SEA OF RAIN wasn't given a hard time on her encouraging Roscommon debut last month and looks sure to improve. She gets the nod. Apollo's Comet also made a pleasing start to her career at Fairyhouse recently and is much respected, whilste Tosca No Candis was successful in a trial at Naas and may be the pick of the newcomers.
