Forecasts

French Dynamite (1/7), Wonder Laish (9/4), Dr Mikey (6/1), Judgement Day (18/1)

FRENCH DYNAMITE was far from disgraced when fifth in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown over Christmas and can resume winning ways back in much calmer waters. The useful Wonder Laish is the obvious threat on these terms.
