Forecasts

Cadillac (15/8), Aikido (7/2), Ebeko (4/1), Sassified (6/1), Abogados (9/1), Zozimus (16/1), Star Image (18/1), Tiger Mylk (28/1), Kaluz (100/1), Our Secret Pearl (100/1)

Abogados (second) and Ebeko (fourth) set the standard on form with their opening efforts at Roscommon recently but that might not turn out to be the strongest barometer and newcomer AIKIDO makes solid appeal on paper for the in-form Ger Lyons and Colin Keane partnership. Tiger Mylk, Cadillac and Zozimus are other first-timers of note.
