Forecasts

Ideal Pal (9/4), Out On Friday (4/1), Acari (5/1), Mulzamm (6/1), Do The Twist (15/2), Kartayaz (10/1), Dani's Boy (10/1), Canning (14/1), Aussie Valentine (16/1), Royal Admiral (16/1), Brothers In Arms (20/1), All Dressed Up (25/1), Afric (28/1), Plunkett (28/1), Londonofficecallin (33/1)

ACARI caught the eye when sixth over C&D last time so is worth siding with off a reduced mark at the chief expense of Kartayaz, who arrives on the back of an excellent second at Bellewstown. C&D winner Out On Friday is sure to be on the premises too if shrugging off a modest effort at the Curragh.
