Forecasts

Sunwalk (1/1), Eagle Terrace (10/3), Indigo Desert (9/2), Acqua Di Gioia (5/1), Steel Queen (14/1), Granville Street (25/1), Macadam's Rock (25/1), Art Of Persia (28/1), Brewel Hill (33/1), Eco Friendly (33/1), Stardayz (40/1), Holly Dowland (50/1), Kalmira (50/1), Mads Black Eights (200/1), Is That So (200/1)

Although a bit disappointing at Leopardstown 118 days ago, the form that SUNWALK was showing earlier in the season is the best on offer here, so he's capable of opening his account if he's on his game. Eagle Terrace is the obvious danger, while newcomer Granville Street makes some appeal on paper.
